As if beauty pageants with humans weren't awful enough. Let's celebrate simulated women with beauty standards too unrealistic for any real women to live up to!

Such a noble use of a small country's worth of energy. Great job, humanity.

lol beauty pageants aren't creepy enough so let's do it with pretend women?

And somehow it's an "influencer." Why is anyone being influenced by a fake person?!

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 14 points 2 months ago

Aren't all influencers fake people?

(I mean they're people but everything about them is fake)

But at least they exist! This is like taking fashion advice from the tooth fairy.

Hey, it was a phase, and we agreed to never speak of that again.

Trekkies.

Comic book fans.

Gamers.

Book worms.

Shall I continue?

As someone who asked the question and is also all of those things, perhaps you can explain how any of them involve a simulated person a computer created using words a computer wrote with humans only being superficially involved.

Being influenced by "Luke Skywalker" is still being influenced by a human writing a script and an actor reading that script. You're still looking at a real person and hearing words a real person wrote. And I think anyone on that list is aware that they are not being influenced by the character itself because, unlike what Galaxy Quest may have told you, we don't all think it's secretly true.

That was your original question, and I answered it.

You added more context and I don't see how that's different.

using words a computer wrote with humans only being superficially involved.

Bro, you're dismissing the tons of people who created the technology lol! The chipmakers, the computer makers, the software makers - all human, so...

But let's entertain your argument. You're saying that the artificial entity was created by something not human. Let's expand my list of examples, then:

  • Tarot.
  • Astrology.
  • Demons.

People are heavily influenced by those too.

And let's have her follow made up religious rules from another imaginary friend!

Let's ask give a big round of applause to drlttæny vvhitìher!

[-] JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

And the Mr. AI Pageant? Where ‘tis?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Hypermasculine tech bros would not be interested in such an event.

[-] JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago
[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Okay, they wouldn't admit to being interested in it.

[-] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 2 points 2 months ago

Same nonsense as Miss Universe and others.

[-] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Thay are all just as shit, no need to single this one out.

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago

Simps don’t want to feel left out. They need to see obtainable women in a contest for once.
