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.

I don’t think people realize this about Ai.  It works on statistical probabilities - things will all tend towards the same.

Okay in some contexts and very strange in others.

i am not sure, i've heard people who say they don't even know whether what they like is actually them or just because it's been conditioned haha 

i agree - to a degree mass appeal has always gone hand in hand with assimilation. BUt if you go back a few years, at least movie stars and celebs had faces you could differentiate haha

Pop culture has always been like this to a degree.  Very rarely do non-standard people do well on a mass scale.

Ai makes it more acute and noticeable - maybe it’ll make us crave uniqueness?

Yeah the super successful Ai influences us just a logical consequence... They always fit the preferences never offend or have much of a real personality at all.

One must wonder though what this does if they become more prevalent to our views of other humans.
