MILFaceApp allows civilians to see how they would look had they served

Filed · 1549

MENLO PARK, Calif.—Following the viral popularity of FaceApp, the newly released MILFace uses the latest artificial intelligence (AI) and facial recognition software to show civilians what they would look like if they had actually joined the military like they totally planned to do years ago.

Using patented software, MILFace graphically alters a user's photographs to remove up to thirty percent of baby fat, replicate military-style haircuts, and add a layer of cynicism and discontent to the eyes. Multiple optional filters are available, such as Chainsmoker, an inexpensive add-on that replicates the signs of early-onset aging that result from abusing multiple forms of tobacco and energy drinks.

With or without add-ons, the overall effect is a transformation from sad and pathetic civilians with nothing of substance to images of seasoned veterans who actually did something with their lives.
