‘Most disturbing website’ ever can find every single photo of you that exists

It's been accused of being a 'stalker's dream'

Go to the right spot on the internet and you can find pretty much anything, including some websites which might reveal that more of your information is out there than you bargained for.

Despite such technological advances, there will always be an argument for giving us more information than we actually need, such as an image search site which uses AI to identify any other pictures of you that are online.

It has been dubbed 'the most disturbing AI website on the internet'.

Even on its site one of the media mentions it promotes from the New York Times says that it offers 'a potentially dangerous superpower from the world of science fiction'.

Other outlets call it 'facial recognition on steroids' and 'one of the most capable face-searching tools on the planet'.

The way it works is that you give the site - called PimEyes - photos of yourself and it uses those pictures to collect all of your snaps that are supposedly available on the internet.

While some think it's pretty cool, others have called it 'a stalker's dream' because as long as they've got a photo of you, they can use the site to track down more.

I've previously used the site's free service before, but not been particularly impressed by the results as it's not managed to find many pictures of me and was better at tracking down doppelgangers of me.

However, it was very quickly able to take one picture of my face and provide me with a couple more, it took matter of seconds for the site to find other images of me.

Some people are worried about the website but it can be used for good as well. (Getty Stock Image)

Several other pictures PimEyes has dug up when I've tasked it with finding me online were images of other people who shared some similar facial features, mostly the eyebrows and the beard.

Another person thought the site was 'disturbing but also extremely valuable' and praised it for 'finding who has used my face without my consent' so they could order websites to take down the pictures.

If you can find all the places where your picture is being used then you might be able to use it for your own ends and see if your likeness is already appearing without your knowledge.

If there's one person who shouldn't use this it's probably the world's most famous model, who has appeared all over the place in all sorts of things.

Trying to use this site might just cause it to blow up through sheer effort.
