People With Body Dysmorphia Are Spiraling Out After Asking AI to Rate Their Looks
(www.rollingstone.com)
In one post on the BDD subreddit, a user wrote that they were “spiraling” after ChatGPT rated a photo of them a 5.5 out of 10.
A random average person was told they were slightly above average...
And they "spiraled".
This is the real problem.
People want to think of themselves on the same level of celebrities or even social media influencers, ignoring that there is a physical filter that prevents almost everyone outside of the top 1% of attractiveness from being shown on screen on by the algorithm.
There might the thousands of them, but that's after selecting from a pool of hundreds of millions, and that's just in America.
But our monkey brains see those monkeys all the time, so it starts rewiring what we consider "hot".
There's women today built like Christina Aguilera in the 90s who legitimately believe that they're overweight and ashamed. Because the female celebrities they see all over now have a six pack. And they've somehow convinced themselves that it's an obtainable goal for any woman and a failure if they dont get there.
It takes a medically dangerous low body fat level for any women to consitently have abs. And not even the celebs look like that all the time.
