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.
