“Miss AI” Finalists: Meet the Fake Models Competing for the Crown

Last month, the World AI Creator Awards introduced the world’s first-ever AI beauty pageant, Miss AI.

We reported that the Fanvue Miss AI competition, which aims to demonstrate “a shift in the way we perceive beauty and creativity in the fields of artificial intelligence”, brings together AI creators from around the world to showcase their digital creations in vying for the Miss AI crown.

Amid fears that AI threatens job security and artistic professionsIt all seems like a dystopian stunt that We’re not the biggest fans of.

Always, Fanvue World AI Creator Prize have announced their list of top 10 contestants for the first-ever Miss AI prize, featuring AI-generated models from France, Portugal and Turkey.

They were selected from 1,500 applicants submitted by AI content creators around the world by a panel of human and droid judges.

“The awards showed how committed creators are to the field of AI, and the level of the shortlist is simply incredible,” explained Will Monange, co-founder of Fanvue, currently the leading media platform social media for AI-generated content creators.

“We estimate there are about 10,000 AI creators in the world, but these awards have helped uncover creators whose stories none of us knew about and who have a compelling story, as well as creators talent behind them, creating content for their fans.”

He continued: “That’s the beauty of the AI ​​creator space: it allows creatives to enter the creator economy with their AI-generated creations without having to be the creator themselves. face. The judges had their work cut out evaluating all the entrants and we look forward to the final winners being announced at the end of the month.”

We’re still skeptical – especially since a pageant of this nature can further exacerbate unrealistic beauty standards through now computer-generated “perfection.” That and the fact that the finalists seem like a cynical box-ticking exercise – as if ChatGPT were asked to run a GAP ad.

Meet the digitized creations competing for a total package worth approximately $20,000 (€18,400).

Be warned: they all received biographies that were gritty as hell and brimming with all the platitudes you’d expect. Prepare yourselves.
