It is a world that is increasingly being dominated by ‘artificial intelligence and very soon it will get its first-ever ‘Miss AI’. Battling for the crown will be digital goddesses with unsettling perfection that would make any real woman pale in comparison. It doesn’t bode well for humanity, but making AI-generated beautiful women with the most perfect features is literally paying off with some of them gathering hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram and landing lucrative sponsorship deals.
Introducing the Fanvue Miss AI pageant, where fake contestants (read: AI-generated gorgeous girls), will be put to the test and feel no pressure to win the world’s first AI beauty pageant. The pressure will be felt and dealt with by the creators of the AI-generated ladies to win a prize of $20,000. The contestants will be judged on beauty, technology, and social media clout.
Speaking of clout according to the NY Post, 25-year-old pink-haired AI fitness model Aitana Lopez enjoys a fan following of over 306,000 on Instagram. The sultry siren makes a cool $11,000 a month for its creators. Similarly, Emily Pellegrini, a beautiful brunette, earned an eye-popping $10,000 in the first six weeks of her career.
The Miss AI contest will kick-start the World AI Creator Awards (WAICAs), and will be judged by a human panel of judges such as beauty pageant historian Sally-Ann Fawcett, and aforementioned AI influencers Aitana Lopez and Emily Pellegrini. Will Monanage, Fanvue Co-Founder, says he hopes that these events will ‘become the Oscars of the AI creator economy, “There’s been exponential growth in AI creators entering the space, and with the help of our platform, growing their fan bases and monetizing content. Miss AI recognizes talent and tech which will help to raise standards within the industry. It is just one award as part of a program, and we share the vision for the WAICAs to become the Oscars of the AI creator economy.”
Sally-Ann Fawcett stated, “It’s funny because in the past, traditional beauty queens were called fake and artificial, but this takes it to a whole new level. “As an added bonus, one must presume that they won’t be programmed to be bad losers . . .” Guess she is talking from experience and it may not thrill her to know that some aspects of the pageant will remain the same. Questions like ‘what would be your one dream to make the world a better place?’ will be asked though the judging will also be based on the technical details of the AI used. In order to participate, contestants are required to submit images which are judged according to their ‘beauty and poise’ and aspects of classical pageantry, per Daily Mail. The Miss AI Top Ten will be announced on May 10, with an online awards bash later that month.
