Exactly! I don't think any programmer would intentionally go out of their way to make it so that only the people with dark skin tones are matched from the database. It has got something to do with how it is not easy to detect facial features on a darker skin tone. The image vectors will have noisy information per pixel and the pixel intensities will be similar in some patches of the image because of the darker skin tone. But that's just my unbiased programmer's way of thinking. Let's hope the world is still beautiful !We are all humans afterall
Yeah you're right! Programmers should train their models for all skin types . That's also something that should be added in many many working environments tbh.
