Facial recognition is fun:

If you've ever wondered if there's a museum portrait somewhere that looks like you and you're ready to have your ego crushed, there's now an app for that. Google Arts & Culture's latest update now lets you take a selfie, and using image recognition, finds someone in its vast art collection that most resembles you. It will then present you and your fine art twin side-by-side, along with a percentage match, and let you share the results on social media, if you dare.

Also at NPR and Alphr.

    I saw a picture of Pablo Picasso's hands and they were eerily similar to mine...just hoping I don't look like his chopped up people!
