May 24 2025 - How Old?

 

The headline says Canada Residents Born 1945 to 1985 could be eligible for this - you have to click to find out "this."  But the disgruntled older person in the picture gets your attention.  

Was this person born in 1945?  If I sat next to hear at the table would you ask if we were sisters?  THat's interesting isn't it?

So I went about the internet doing some asking.  The first site says 79, the second 36, the third 88, and the fourth says 79.  These are all sponsored sites selling other things.  What about sites that are interested in discerning age.  The last one says 82 years old. 

If we go to Perfectcorp.com we will find the YouCan Makeup: AI Selfie editor will give us all kinds of advice - it is a virtual makeup ap, free AI hairstyle and hair colour changes, clothes changer and avatar generator, a one-tap photo face shaper, and AI skin and photo retouch. And don't forget to get an AI-powered body editor.  These all require a download "for free."  So we'll let them go by.

And how old does this lady look - older than my mother when she passed away at 93. It could be how grumpy she looks. And I start to look carefully at the image and can see a 40kpm sign in the background, so think this is a Toronto street scene.  But even though I put the image into ClarityCheck, I don't want to give my email for the report so maybe I'll have to figure out this age-looking thing some other day.

Should I look at those apps that predict a person's age progression?  At the Perfect app, it shows a person's age progressions - 16, 24, 35,  and so on.  Can you imagine young people at 16 looking at themselves and what they will look like at 45?  It seems a bit scary to me.  

Here's the example, with the postings  to instagram, X and TikTok.  

Historically, this technology started out as a method to identify and apprehend fugitives and locate missing children.  We do get to odd places from where we started.
