AIs version of beautiful people will be based on plastic surgery versions of people who were once based on those born with good looks

If plastic surgery is based on people with good looks, it seems to be very loosely based on them!

Then beauty standards would be based on AI generated images. Full circle of simulacra.

I spent way too long trying to figure out what Marilyn Manson had to do with any of this

And as AI becomes more and more lifelike and humans become more suspicious of too-perfect appearances, people with plastic surgery will unexpectedly find themselves on the wrong side of the uncanny valley.

Sometimes AI images help me see more clearly what is wrong with our societies. Because, really? That image is connected to this word? I can feel how, but that's f*cked up.
