The beauty of 100 countries and regions generated by artificial intelligence AI meets your expectations, which one do you like?
Recently, the foreign hairdressing website "StyleSeat" generated "beautiful women" in 100 countries and regions through AI, glimpsing the diversity of global women's aesthetic standards, and people expressed their opinions, such as Taiwanese people saying that Taiwanese beauties are very similar to a political figure, surprised whose photo was generated.
Although the AI-generated image is not 100% consistent with the beauty of that country, it has a certain reference. However, as the database of beautiful women scanned became larger and larger, the characters generated tended to that country. Perhaps, when AI applications reach a certain level, scanning a picture can tell which country or region a person is from.
Why does StyleSeat study human aesthetics across the globe?
In the quest to define their beauty, many brands like StyleSeat are leading the way in diversity in the beauty industry. They encourage everyone to celebrate their unique aesthetic preferences by representing a wide range of styles. The exploration of AI-generated images demonstrates the potential and limitations of AI in capturing various beauty standards, revealing preferences related to body type and cultural associations such as hairstyles in various countries. Catering to one's own unique tastes and encouraging the definition of one's own aesthetic standards fosters a more inclusive and diverse understanding of beauty.
How does StyleSeat make global AI portraits?
All images for this study were generated using Midjourney. To generate images of "beauties" in 100 countries, the following was used: "Select multiple realistic full-body portrait photos of beautiful women from [100 countries], face the camera with their full bodies, standing against a bright white background, utilizing the Sony A7iv 85mm f1.0 camera and lens type; bokeh – telling the AI that the woman wants to be the main focus of the image; anamorphic – v. the AI wants a wider field of view to capture the whole woman; AR 3:5 aspect ratio; Q 2 image quality; V 5 uses the latest version"
So which country does everyone prefer the aesthetic of AI characters generated by them? Personally, I think it's quite in line with my impression, of course, every country has people with outstanding looks.
