re the op:

the point of equality/acceptance of sexual orientation is so that people are free to find love where it comes to them naturally. it's not to prove that people have to be the way anyone- a computer or society or your parents tell you to be. this is not liberating it's limiting. and it's dumb.

I agree with this: "the point of equality/acceptance of sexual orientation is so that people are free to find love where it comes to them naturally."

BUT

Regardless of what the AI tells you, you are still free to find love wherever it comes. I'd also just think it's true that some people can't 'find love naturally' with people of the opposite sex or people of the same sex. The AI isn't telling anyone the way they have to be, it's just figuring out what kind of people you genetically seem pre-dispositioned to find attractive. Even then it can't do so perfectly. 

This study has problems, but I don't think one of them is that it limits anyone.

as much as you take it seriously you are looking to something external to yourself to tell you what you are. I don't think that's ideal. I don't think people need this kind of calculated external support for being gay. if they ARE gay, they'll know it. if they don't know it, I don't think it's true. adolescent years excluded.

I'm not looking for anything external to tell me what I am :huh: I know what I am.

I don't think the people running the study think people need 'this kind of calculated external support' for being gay either... The researches know that people know their own sexuality...

The purpose of this wasn't to allow people to discover their sexuality. It was an attempt at testing the theory that sexual orientation stems from exposure to certain hormones before birth, something this study supports.
