How-Old.net is a new website that guesses people’s ages and it’s really, really bad at it

Microsoft is currently testing out an amazing new website called How-Old.net, which guesses how old you are from a single photo.

And the internet absolutely LOVES it. Because the beauty of this age guessing robot is that it’s really, really bad at working out how old people are.

It tells 70-year-olds they don’t look a day over 25, while baby FROW-er North West is apparently 34, which is eight years older than her mum’s estimated age.

Madonna’s looking good for her 56 years:

It’s particularly great for checking out celebs’ ages. Not accurate, but great:

Just to clarify, Kris Jenner is 59, Kim Kardashian is 34, Kanye is 37 and North is 22-months-old (not 34).

Every result comes with this all-encompassing disclaimer: ‘Sorry if we didn’t quite get the age and gender right – we are still improving this feature’.

But, frankly, we don’t think it needs any improvement.

You can try it yourself here.

If anyone tries this, please let us know if your result was correct or even close.

Most of my photos show as 25. I'm 26, so it's not terrible at it

Most people seem to show as 25ish. I bet if I put mine in it would show 25.
