The AI generator was given a series of criteria to create the mesmerizing gallery.
It was requested to provide ‘photo-realistic full-length portrait shots’ with the subject facing the camera and against a white background.
Then the list of 100 countries was entered, including the United States, Canada, China, India and the UK.
The completed project, which mirrors the patterns AI identified in existing data available online, revealed a “striking uniformity.”
There were a number of recurring themes running through the footage, but the program also captured the “intricate nuances of different cultures.”
Style Seat acknowledged these similarities, writing, “AI consistently produced images of women looking relatively thin and “together,” though it also managed to introduce some degree of diversity, primarily in terms of race and cultural dress, into their overall appearance. record.
Interestingly, most of the generated women appear with minimal or natural makeup, suggesting that AI does not strictly associate beauty with heavy cosmetics.
“Moreover, many of the images show women wearing pants instead of dresses or skirts, challenging traditional gender norms and indicating that AI is programmed to recognize a variety of clothes as equally beautiful.”

But it’s not the first time AI has been used to create images of “beautiful women.”
Earlier this year, clothing brand Levi Strauss & Co revealed that it would be taking a futuristic approach to showcasing its jeans line.
The company said it would use artificial intelligence-generated models to show off its clothes, claiming that consumers may not be able to tell the difference.
Launching later this year, the initiative will showcase AI models in different body types, skin tones and ages so customers can see what products might look like on them.
The San Francisco-based company previously said “AI will likely never fully replace human models” for the company, but offering a range of digital models will create “a more personalized and inclusive shopping experience.”
