I tested it myself and was shocked by the speed and accuracy. Super creepy. pic.twitter.com/u3vE9gCO7R

PimEyes Is An Example Of An AI Website That Can Go Both Ways

Also, it is extremely fast- much faster than personally and individually tracking down every single picture of you on the Internet. We should also remember that it was the free version of the website, which took about three seconds to track pictures- so one can only imagine how fast the premium version would be. With a fee associated, the site could do far more in-depth searches whilst providing links for every single place the pictures appeared- something that would be considered a pretty useful tool.

One Twitter user complimented this AI website, stating, “I like PimEyes. The tool is controversial- but it is one of the best tools for finding who has used my face without my consent. I then send takedown notices.” On the other hand, another user stated, “This is a stalker’s dream.” Several others commented that this would be quite a useful and welcome way of using the site, with someone else reiterating the sentiment by stating that they had uploaded a picture of themselves as a kid, and the website had accurately identified all the images of themselves as an adult. Some users also commented that this website could be very useful for law enforcement with missing children reports. Still, others realized that the technology could be operated in a completely different direction as well.

One Twitter user stated that she had uploaded a picture of herself recently, and the AI website used it to locate a picture of her on the Internet when she was 10 years old. Interestingly, the site can allow users to not be in other people’s searches, but they would need you to put up a scan of your passport or ID to verify that it is indeed you who is doing that.
