Nobody is more convinced that they can accurately identify homosexuals than other homosexuals. Probably gay groups are concerned that it will be used to screen out gays.
“When an algorithm with 91 percent accuracy operates in the real world,” Dr. Cox said, “almost two-thirds of the times it says someone is gay, it would be wrong.”
In other words, even with the machine, "gaydar" isn't always on target.
Once again:
Romans 8:16 niv
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
“When an algorithm with 91 percent accuracy operates in the real world,” Dr. Cox said, “almost two-thirds of the times it says someone is gay, it would be wrong.”
If it is 91% accurate why would it wrongly identify gays 66% of the time?
This is just research though - They usually have 5% significance, so if the accuracy is over 5% higher than flipping a coin (50%), it’s significant. What I took away was that humans can pick out gays significantly better than chance (61%) and the machine did it extremely well (84%). It’s impressive.
