We could have had animated cartoon beauty pageants. But perhaps it is the combination of visual and written word that makes AI favour having beauty pageants now. this from euronews.com:
"Amidst the concerns that AI is threatening job security and artistic professions, Fanvue World AI Creator Awards have announced their Top 10 shortlist for the first-ever ‘Miss AI’ award. And they've all got mortifyingly clichéd bios."
"We reported that the Fanvue Miss AI pageant, which aims to demonstrate “a shift in how we perceive beauty and creativity within the realms of artificial intelligence”, brings together AI creators from across the globe to showcase their digital creations vying for the Miss AI crown."
They were picked from 1,500 applicants submitted by AI content creators worldwide The judges are human and droids (what is a droid?).
The author of the article finds the entire project "cringe-worthy." Going through the pictures and bios, it seems to reveal a cliche view of women - young, buxom and thin. Surprise!
You can see the lineup HERE. At the heart of the contest is that the entrants are social media influencers. Do we want influencers to really look and act like humans or be somehow better? The creators of Aitana Lopez earn thousands of dollars a month in income from brand partnerships. Compare that to millions earned by top human influencers.
Here's another quote: "Mohammad Talha Saray, a member of the team in Ankara, Turkey, that created one of the Miss AI finalists — the red-haired, green-eyed Seren Ay, said they came up with the AI model five or six months ago as a brand ambassador for their jewelry e-commerce company because human influencers they approached cost too much money and were too demanding. Saray said his AI avatar is cheaper, more flexible and doesn’t talk back."
