I find it very difficult to believe that this app generates even semi-accurate calorie counts.
It doesn't seem to matter in the world of "health" measurements.
The Body Mass Index (BMI) formula is a absurd on its face, and yields equally absurd results.
The forumla does not have a cubic (n3) factor, and therefore does not take volume into account.
The result is that a short, pumpkin-shaped person will have a low BMI implying they are thin and fit, while a tall, thin person will have a large BMI, implying they are obese and out of shape.
Agreed. Is he smart for an 18-year-old? Yes. But his smarts is only partly in programming. His main skill is impressing the gullible that his app has real and useful information.
There are already YouTube videos criticizing the app.
Identufying the food is one thing.
Gsaugong proportions of each ingredient, and portion sizes, is another.
This is my mind is part of a full-on press by AI to drum up demand because they have spent $400-$500 BILLION on infrastructure in the last 18 months but onky have $40billion in revenue from it.
(Not to mention water and electricity costs.)
