Model says her face was edited with AI to look white: ‘It’s very dehumanizing’
(www.theguardian.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Welcome to modeling!
This story is as old as photography itself.
So... Models should just expect racism, and that's just.. cool with you?
smmfh... 🤦♀️
Wow your imagination really took off there, because that... is not what I said.
The story mentions AI to make this sound like something new and specific to AI. Whereas both heavy editing of portraits/videos, and Eurocentric beauty standards, are basically as old as photography itself.
I'm fine with criticizing the industry for racist stereotypes; can't we also criticize it for perpetuating the myths of unrealistic perfect bodies and complexions?
