1. I'm guessing that this is not marketed to dudes, who, as you say, can just go get it checked out. Rather it is probably marketed to the ladies who want to know if they are about to permit a diseased wanger into their bodies.

2. IF there are signs of diseased wanger visible enough to be sussed out by an AI program, couldn't you just, y'know, teach people to recognize the symptoms?

3. I'm not visualizing how the whole "Hang on a minute, while I take a picture of your wanger and wait for some website to tell me it is not diseased. We'll just sit here and drink tea for a minute, then we can get back to it." while they are barely seventeen and barely dressed

The app did not accept my pictures of a plastic dinosaur tail or a sculpture of a corndog, but it *did* run the disturbing German wurst pic and the disturbing Beyond Meat sausage I found and told me they were a "hold." Does it count as "accuracy"? I mean, I can't be sure the German sausage *didn't* have an STI, and it is indeed (in the cringe "how do you do, fellow kids?" lingo of the app) "sus."

I actually cannot believe that this app exists…and is available in the EU! This is peek AI hype!
