The idea of an AI beauty pageant might seem laughable or grotesque, depending on who you ask. But the World AI Creator Awards reflects something deeper about modern influencer culture.
When poet John Keats wrote in “Ode on a Grecian Urn” that, “beauty is truth, truth beauty,” he probably didn’t have AI influencers in mind. Perhaps he should have. Back in April, Fanvue, a AI-infused creator platform that falls somewhere between OnlyFans and Cameo in terms of services, launched what it’s calling the “world’s first beauty pageant for AI creators.” On Monday, the World AI Creator Awards announced the contest’s 10 semifinalists.
While it’s easy enough for image generating newbies to end up with blurred features and weird hands, Gungor says his experienced team was able to create an initial pool of 300 beautiful women in Stable Diffusion, ultimately picking Seren Ay’s face from the crowd because “she looked like a real person.” Fanvue’s pool of thin, beautiful, mostly light-skinned finalists reflects what the Washington Post found when it tasked DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion with creating beautiful women.
