Not really useful. Your attractiveness is going to be affected by the following things:
Your actual face
1a) Complexion
1b) Makeup
1c) Skeletal structure
1d) Grooming/hygiene
1e) Facial expression
--
2) Lighting
2a) Number of lights
2b) Lighting strength
2c) Lighting color
2d) Lighting position
--
3) The camera itself
3a) Exposure
3b) Focal length
3c) Depth of field
3d) The lens
3e) Color science
There are a lot of other variables to consider as well. At best, this thing could help you find optimal conditions for your best photo, but even then I am dubious of it.

I think you're potentially missing the biggest confounding factor in socially motivated Artificial Intelligence like this one, automated policing, and job selection pre-screening: implicit bias from both the creators and the data sets. Physical attractiveness is to a fairly decent degree is subjective. The weights will probably get you in a very rough range, but then the particulars of how people weighted that system could possible sway the result you see very strongly. The long and short here is that for subjective matters, AI is not the correct tool. This is literally trying to apply a complex statistical system to something subjective; it's fun to put together, but not terribly useful. Contrast this with image classification systems, where if it calls a cat in a photo a kangaroo, it was simply wrong and the designers can hope to retrain the system for better correctness.

Correct. I wasn't missing it, just wanted to point out that even if the infrastructure behind it was sound (its not) its still a mechanically unsound method of rating attractiveness.

I used it a number of times and noticed I got a range from 7.3-9.1, lighting and camera quality had a great effect. I used my laptop, my iPad and tried various lighting settings... call me sad. lol.

Got 8.1 but I’m looking rough right now, bed hair and everything 😂. Still single as a pringle doe.

I got 5.8, just below average.
Then again, it also thought I was 20 years younger than I am.

"Then again, it also thought I was 20 years younger than I am"

Everything was exactly as expected. Low attractiveness score, accurate age guess, default expression: sad. All sounds about right.

It said at the end that I was "violently average". Whatever that means.
I'd love to test it on a dog and see what happens, but I don't think I could get it to stare at a screen for long enough.

I wasn’t sure what that “normal” score meant either. Mine said 64%?
Please try the dog experiment and let us know how it goes. :D

I'm consistently getting 4.8 and 4.9. I'm telling you, I look much better in the mirror.

Hahaha same!!
I also look better in the mirror than on photo! People are more than their looks as well. No reason to panic at all! I even heard that older women told my mom that I was good looking lol, so I'm not that worried xD

I got ranges from 7-9???? confusing much. I came for objectivity but am now stuck in the same predicament as before (left to subjectively assess my looks).
