Makes you wonder how many people got jailed for a crime they didn't commit before the widespread use of fingerprints and DNA just because they resembled someone else.

People still do.
I can't find the study but people over estimate whether someone looks familiar, especially in stressful situations.
There are people in prison right now because they look like the perpetrator.
Imma give you a guess as to the races of these people.
The wikipedia article on eyewitness testimony goes into more detail.
The book 'Picking Cotton' is a hard read, but its nonfiction about a woman realizing she identified the wrong man for SA. Its excellent.
Happens all the time. Just look up prison doppelgänger and you’ll get a bunch of hits. One guy spent 17 years falsely imprisoned.
Why do you think the homicide clearence rate has plummeted? Can't just swing by a random black person, beat the shit out of them, and pin a crime on them like you used to.

Step 1: Don't be black.
~~Step 2: Don't be born before 1960.~~
Actually nevermind lol.
Very cool, I wonder how he finds the matches.
It's Canada we all look the same buddy .
He's not your buddy, guy.
He’s not your guy, friend.
He's not your friend, buddy.
He's not your friend, bub .
He's not your bub, pal.
He’s not your guy, friend.
He's not your friend, pal.
This dude is trying to categorize all the different NPC variants.
We always joked about this when I worked at a really busy pizza place, how around the corner er all the npcs would spawn and sometimes you'd get the same one in a row just rendered a different color outfit
And this illustrates a problem of using facial recognition databases as a security measure. False positives lead to false convictions.
Would be an interesting test set for categorising the accuracy of such software.
Am I the only one that thinks most of them don't look that similar?
I feel like that's because we actually get to see them side by side. But if you were friends with one and saw the other as a stranger out in public, say the grocery store, it might warrant a "holy shit, I just saw someone who looks exactly like you," text accompanied by an awkwardly zoomed in picture of them in the frozen foods aisle.
Well they're not literal identical twins
When I was a young man I went on vacation to another city, and while there I was constantly approached by people who wanted to buy drugs from me. Apparently I had a doppelganger in that city who was a street corner drug dealer.
This used to happen to me literally everywhere I went. Sometimes you just give off a drug dealer vibe I guess?
For what it's worth, I'm a bit odd because I'm autistic, and I've never touched a drug my doctor didn't prescribe in my life.
They were calling me by a different name, so I'm pretty sure I looked like a known dealer. It was really weird, and kinda scary since several of the people that approached me were obviously in withdrawals and didn't believe me that I had no idea what they were talking about.
Their faces often match but their jawlines don't.
The mustache people are cheats.
Very cool and all, but why are all the doppelgangers in deep love with each other?
If I was sure I wasn't related to them, banging my doppelganger would be a very interesting experience.
Marketing determined that having them blood covered, with ripped clothing, and holding blades at arms length wasn't as appealing to most audiences
There can be only one, McLeod
A few of them look so much alike, it's uncanny.
News flash, none of us are as unique as we think.
Except me. I'm definitely unique. Right?
Just like everyone else!
Boy, a couple of his pics are lookin creepy.
Tbh I'd be totally interested to find my doppelganger(s) from around the world. Just kinda like a neat experiment/experience.
Two people that look alike but aren't related. That's what I'm talking about!
Cool idea, but like most of these people don't look alike at all. Completely different noses, jaws, chins, eyes, etc.
I think he's going for a more subtle similarity. Like they look like they could be related but necessarily twins.
If they looked exactly alike it wouldn’t even be interesting. You could just photograph actual twins
Somebody face-swap them all.
