So if I cover my face with 3M reflective tape like a goddamn shiny mummy before I left the house, the facial recognition software would still know it’s me? That’s all I’m asking at this point.

The way you walk is apparently also unique per human so you might have to take up a limp or something similar.

Would you do that every single day of your life, no matter the circumstances and never ever slip even a little bit?.. that’s exactly how these systems have data on everyone. And AI makes it so a human doesn’t have to waste 2000hrs to detect it where you stumbled once.
