Got quite triggered today when in my team someone took a pic of a perfectly beautiful German news anchor (for a meme) and put it through Ai completely turning her into just one of those faces that all look the same. I find it really depressing how much of the "beauty standard" framed as empowerment is now trickling into real life with even young girls now starting anti-aging routines, and wanting plastic surgery. I get it algos like more of the same, but it warps our realities. How can we expect people to develop a sense of beauty if we condition them to perceive just one thing as that. We got a whole new kind of dysmorphia from our filtered faces, much innovation. https://youtu.be/baoRaEUmkpU?si=V75Pf2mK78Sho6Au

It is depressing. It's as if individuality is fading away and everyone wants to follow a standard of being just because they feel that is where they will find their community. Meanwhile, that is not the case.

it's conditioning, if you show people only one version of beauty. agree, totally hate that it's happening and the only antidote I know is being less exposed to these things but the issue is bigger than one person alone. and i also understand when creators figure, this is the way to actually succeed - it does also reflect though on consumers. i remember the outrage over nyc influencers being boring but i mean... everyone could have just unfollowed and left it at that right? so it's not just them haha anyway, I'm glad that my only anxieties came from magazines back in the day and weren't constantly reinforced by notifications
