Paulie is how old? New website guesses Irish sports stars' ages... and gets some very wrong

How Old Do I Look has become popular this week but these results suggest it still needs a bit of work.

MICROSOFT HAS CREATED a new website which aims to guess your age.

How Old Do I Look, which uses algorithms to scan human faces in uploaded photos, has swept the world since its release this week and, while it is relatively accurate in some circumstances, many people have been complaining on social media that it is way off.

We’ve decided to put it to the test with some of Ireland’s best-known athletes.

Paul O’Connell (actual age: 35)
