Another day, another Microsoft facial recognition tool that funnels the internet’s amusement straight into Bing’s search algorithm.

Just kidding! Microsoft said it doesn’t keep your photos, but they’re likely being used to help improve the AI. Today’s tool, Project Oxford, lets you upload a picture and the bot will guess your emotions. As you can imagine, the Web had a field day with it.

Obviously, the tool still needs some tweaks to start factoring body position and food being consumed into consideration.

Only 7 percent angry, eh?

Still, can’t say we’re not impressed.
