Surely removing your need to do that will help, instead of focusing on it as a personal improvement goal!

It sounds like a fun* game of, "Fool the facial recognition!" And it's not just famous people, it's also "undesirables." So you could recognize people on the sex offender lists or any number of other crimes. You could also have real life "gaydar."

Cars sounded like a terrifying future for stagecoach drivers.

also sounds like a terrifying future for child kidnappers or fugitives or anyone on some wanted list.

whether they deserve to be on that wanted list or not

Sounds like something Google or Amazon could benefit from practically giving away.
