Since AI can generate images, "beauty" has become one of the themes. At first glance, "they" are stunning, but over time, you will find that human aesthetics are very singular when shaping female images with AI. These AI-created female images all have perfect skin and outstanding figures.

When the audience becomes aesthetically fatigued, the social networking site Fanvue and the World AI Creator Award (WAICA) collaborated to hold a beauty pageant called "AI Miss World", supporting anyone to participate in the competition by generating images of female figures using AI tools. Interestingly, the judging panel of the competition also includes two AI-generated "internet celebrities".

To win the title of "AI Miss World", it is not enough to just have a beautiful "paper person". According to the official website of WAICA, the contestants not only need to be beautiful, but also need to have their own social media accounts. The judges will also examine the generation technology and commercial value of these participating "AI beauties".

Sally-Ann Fawcett, a member of the judging panel, a beauty pageant historian, and the author of "Light Crime: Beauty Queen Scandal", emphasized that this beauty pageant is not about "talking about buttocks, breasts, or fantasy figures", but about exploring the opportunity for "AI women" to surpass traditional aesthetic standards.

However, from the works that have already participated in the competition, it seems that the singularity of aesthetics has not been broken.

"AI Beauty Pageant" AI Internet Celebrities as Judges

The inaugural "AI Miss World" beauty pageant is jointly launched by the social networking site Fanvue and the World Artificial Intelligence Creator Award (WAICA). Fanvue is a subscription platform hosting virtual models.

As the "first global" event, the organizers are very generous. The creator behind the most popular "Miss AI" will win a cash prize of $5,000, promotion on the Fanvue platform, and PR support worth over $5,000; the runner-up and second runner-up will also receive prizes.

It is reported that the application for participation opened on April 15, and the results will be announced on May 10, with plans to hold an online awards ceremony later in the month.

Interestingly, the selection process for "AI Miss World" will involve two "AI internet celebrities" as judges. The chief examining officer is Aitana Lopez and Emily Pellegrini, two AI virtual models who have already accumulated hundreds of thousands of fans on Instagram.

According to the official website of WAICA, anyone can upload AI-generated female images, and the judging panel will use the appearance of digital contestants, generation technology, and social media influence as evaluation criteria to select the final winner.

Based on the selection rules, to win this competition, the participating "Miss AI" not only needs to have external beauty, but also needs to consider the generation technology used by the creator behind them.

"Miss AI welcomes creations generated by any type of generator, whether it's DeepAI, Midjourney, or your own tool." This competition rule shows that the work "must be 100% generated by artificial intelligence", but there are no restrictions on the tools used. This means that the generation effect will also be within the scope of evaluation, and a "six-fingered beauty" may be deducted points.

Technology is only a hardware assessment, and the generated Miss AI also needs to have their own "social influence" - the judging panel will examine the interaction between AI creators and fans, the growth rate of fan groups, and how they use social platforms such as Instagram to evaluate their social influence.

The judging panel even incorporates values into the evaluation process. For example, participants will be asked some mandatory questions: How will you achieve world peace? What is your dream? Of course, these "paper people" will not answer these questions, but rather their creators will describe them.

It can be seen that "AI Miss World" seems to be selecting AI-created beauties, but in reality, it is evaluating the creators' concepts.

A spokesperson for WAICA said that the most important thing in the AI Miss beauty pageant is the recognition of artistry, "this is not typical beauty in the traditional sense", "this is to support the aesthetic sense of artistic creative talents and creators' works".

Sally-Ann Fawcett, a member of the judging panel, a beauty pageant historian, and the author of "Light Crime: Beauty Queen Scandal", emphasized to the media that this beauty pageant is not about "talking about buttocks and breasts or fantasy figures", and she hopes that the participant group can be diversified, giving creators the opportunity to change the public's perception of AI women.

Subverting Aesthetics or Amplifying Singular Aesthetics?

From the perspective of human judging values, this competition aims to see diversity in the generation of female images from AI, but the other two "AI internet celebrity" judges have already contradicted this idea.

These two "celebrity" judges are Emily Pellegrini and Aitana Lopez, both generated by AI tools, and they have a large number of fans on social media, and have even begun to show commercial value.

Emily Pellegrini, born in the United States, became popular in January this year. She shares her life on social platforms, posting various beautiful photos, including sports and street snaps. With her hot figure and good looks, Emily attracted over 190,000 fans in just 4 months.

Emily's behind-the-scenes team said in an interview with the Daily Mail that they created her using ChatGPT's answers, "We asked ChatGPT, what kind of woman is the dream lover of the average man, and it said brown hair and long, beautiful legs, so we shaped her according to this answer."

Another judge, Lopez, has 310,000 fans on Ins and is known as the "first AI model in Spain", and she has already started working for brands, with a "monthly income of up to 10,000 euros".

On Ins, Lopez also shares her daily photos of fitness, travel, and life scenes. From these photos, as a "print model", Lopez follows the aesthetic standards of this professional female role, and one creator said, "If we don't follow this aesthetic, brands won't be interested."

From the appearance of these two judges, AI-generated women with IP value have not broken through the singular aesthetic standards. The "beauty" of these Miss AI is still determined by their creators. So, what kind of works have the participants submitted?

Defined as a "23-year-old French and Japanese mixed-race model", the AI internet celebrity KimochiiIns has already participated in the competition, and "she" has accumulated 45,000 fans and a monthly income of $2,000.

Another contestant labeled as "blonde beauty from Amsterdam, Netherlands", Amy Everhart, has 53,000 followers on Ins and a monthly income of $2,000.

From the appearance of these participants, "they" are still typical beauties, deeply loved by fans because they "look very real". When traffic gathers, monetization is also possible. These "AI internet celebrities" have all received advertising opportunities.

Despite advocating for "beauty" and "diversity", the appearance of AI judges and the works of participating AI seem to have amplified the singular aesthetic of women. Some netizens have already begun to worry that such beauty pageants will only exacerbate "unrealistic aesthetic views".
