People Predict Female Suicide Rate Will Increase When More AI Productions Of Perfect Women Are Released

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the digital world, transcending boundaries once thought unbreachable. However, while the technology offers endless opportunities for innovation, it also poses unique challenges. One such challenge lies in AI's ability to generate hyper-realistic images of non-existent people, particularly beautiful women, a development that raises crucial ethical considerations.

AI's journey began in the mid-20th century when pioneers like John McCarthy and Alan Turing envisioned machines that could mimic human intelligence. Over the decades, advancements in computational power and the exponential growth of data have transformed AI from a concept into an integral part of our daily lives. Today, one of AI's most intriguing applications is the creation of synthetic media or deepfakes. Using a type of AI known as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), developers can "train" systems to generate realistic images of people who do not exist. Websites like "This Person Does Not Exist" showcase this technology, where every refresh yields a new, AI-generated face, each indistinguishable from a real human photograph.

A particular trend in this space is the generation of images portraying attractive women. However, this application of AI has sparked widespread debate, highlighting the ethical implications of AI development. These AI-generated "women" are often used in deceptive practices, including catfishing and disinformation campaigns. They can also perpetuate harmful beauty standards and objectify women, reinforcing societal biases within the digital realm. Moreover, the ease and anonymity provided by AI in generating these images exacerbate the risks of misuse, making it a potent tool for those with malicious intent. As it becomes more and more common for AI images to produce the most stunning, impossibly perfect women, some people predict this will have a sinister effect on real women.

Twitter user @CosyCookies tweeted an image of a fair-skinned girl with flawless, freckled skin (dewy, with no makeup), with full lips and bright green eyes. Her hair is naturally falling around her face. It looks just as real as any other photo of a real-life women, but this is an AI-generated image.

"Female suic1de rate is going to sky rocket when AI production of 10/10, flawless, realistic looking women is in full swing. Either that or women go scorched earth and burn everything to the ground because of completely unattainable beauty produced by a computer," he wrote.

Some people responded to him with a reminder that no matter how beautiful these "women" may be, men can't date them or sleep with them, so they will never actually replace women. "Also many people saying ‘you can’t sleep with an AI image’ - yeh, no sh*t," he responded. "But I never made any reference to male female relationships in regard to AI. This was about women comparing themselves to AI. Keep up, idiots."

Shortly after, @CosyCookies deleted the thread and turned his profile to private.

But replies remain, and there were many women in the comment section reminding him that they grew up in an era of Kate Moss, Adriana Lima, and Megan Fox. And there are very real and very beautiful women in Hollywood like Sydney Sweeney and Bella Hadid. If women were going to off themselves in droves because they felt insecure compared to other women who were impossibly beautiful and perfect, it would have happened a long time ago. Other women in the replies suggested that his view on women is narrow at best. "You have a very weird view of women. You probably don't know many. Sad," one user wrote. "Women are more than what men think of their attractiveness dude," another woman replied.
