Rey was a garbage Mary Sue character and a perfect example of why hamfisting 2D "muh strong female lead" characters into stories they don't belong in is a terrible idea. If people want more stories about women they should write more stories about women instead of calling other writers loveist or gender bias or whatever because they don't hit arbitrary diversity standards in their fiction.

this may be up there on the list of "dumbest applications of neural networks"

why is it inherently a bad thing for a movie's cast to have a gender imbalance? if a writer makes roles for more males or more females, what does it matter? am I missing the point or does someone just get really butthurt and think women are deliberately being written out of films to oppress them or w.e?

The project here is to identify gender using facial-recognition. Honestly, that's probably all Google cares about. The whole aspect of using it to improve gender diversity in movies is almost certainly a PR move.
