You’ve gone home with a Tinder date, and things are escalating. You don’t really know or trust this guy, and you don’t want to contract an STI, so… what now?

A company called Calmara wants you to snap a photo of the guy’s penis, then use its AI to tell you if your partner is “clear” or not.

Let’s get something out of the way right off the bat: You should not take a picture of anyone’s genitals and scan it with an AI tool to decide whether or not you should have sex.

    I’m pretty sure that gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV don’t generally have visible symptoms. Just use a condom.

      Man, what about false positives? Ruined date night at minimum, possibly ruined reputation, relationships.

      Sorry, we put a picture of your junk into this box. We don’t know what’s in it, or what it does with the picture, but it says you have chlamydia, and I think the box looks trustworthy. Here’s your divorce papers.

      Or if still concerned after the fact, a doctor. Despite what your GOP neighbor might tell you, they’re not all evil quacks and don’t typically take pictures of your stuff either.

    This definitely won’t be misused in any way that would completely destroy the good name of the person taking/in the frame of the image. It’s just one “probable cause” search from a bad day.

      what are the chances they build a database to blackmail any individual they want in the future and just say it was leaked

    I could care less who sees my junk. I also would not let someone take pictures of it so I can fuck them. I’m galaxies away from being that desperate.

    Maybe they will use the photo to match it with doctor notes and photos medically taken of the same penis or vagina to then illegally match them to illegally obtained health records. Probably not though.

    Finally, using this we’ll be able to train AI models so we can know what super-gonaherpes looks like

    Is it open source and offline? I would only trust that they’re not collecting all the photos people take with the app if so.
