We are the generation that has developed body image issues because of Photoshop, airbrushing, etc. The kids in my generation grew up seeing images of women that were manipulated beyond belief to look a certain way, fluctuating with the trends of the fashion world. Tell me that this isn't a million times worse. Now our self-worth and perception of beauty is not only being threatened by the manipulation of images of real women and the perpetuating idea that women must be perfect to be beautiful, but now this dangerous ideology has advanced to the point that we are not even looking at real women at all, but simply something that is created by humans. I cannot express how disturbed I am that the generation of girls growing up behind me will be compared to computer-generated images. These lifeless images may seem harmless to us, because they are new and exciting, but I they have a dangerous potential. I know I can't be the only one who feels this way.

Were now literally competing with computers

Technical possibilities need to be ethically discussed. Over and over again. In Germany there are highly controversial discussed plans to use CGI to create fake child pornography in order to gain access to criminal platforms and fight them from within. So this technique might actually help to save real children from sexual abuse. I wished we just left all the sick stuff to animated soulless characters and turn back to being humane humans.

At first glance she looks pretty real, and I don't exactly follow people like her for comparison but the more I look at her the more I see what looks like one of those real life sex dolls. Girls that look like this on social media are definitely using too much makeup/ filters/ photoshop. This is a disgusting beauty standard. Have you seen the snap chat filters these days? Completely contorts the shape of ones face, literally makes pretty girls unattractive and they think it's a good thing.

Pretty sure Hatsune Miku and all the other vocaloids have been doing this for years.

I'll be the minority here, but I don't find this terrifying, to be honest. I find it an amazing work of skillful art. Its hyper-realism reminds of ancient Greek and Roman statutes and of the Renaissance. Those were also very contradictorily realistic. The contradiction is in that average people don't really look like that. At the same time it makes you think, what difference does this make from people who edit and fake their lives for the public anyway? It's beautiful, it's provocative and it raises important questions. This is art and it's magnificent.

Yet again internet flood us with impossible standard for computers..

Only the face is CGI, it's added to a real body. Impressive but not as much as if it was full CGI. https://interestingengineering.com/meet-imma-the-worlds-first-computer-generated-model

Even more realistic than Lil Miquela

This is incredible. I had trouble believing that she wasn't a real person.

wait, im confused, its just her head thats being photoshopped into pictures or this is a robot or...?

Isn't she a robot? am just jkjsjskksjs

blowed my brain out..surprising and terrifying

I once I worked in an upscale ladies wear store and had to manipulate mannequins and put them in "interesting" poses to accentuate the clothing To do this, at the moveable joints, I would remove arms, hands and move the upper torso in different poses. It was really fascinating to be able to do this. Sometimes when I was working in the window, I would notice patrons looking in from outside; then I would "freeze" in a position for a time and suddenly move and face them and grin!
