SUMMARY:Programmable Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:Join me for my research into AI slop with I need a husband: AI beauty standards and the proliferation of bot driven content.This talk will explore AI slop\, catfishing\, the right wing pipeline\, and is tied together with a new artwork exploring the algorithmic gaze\, fascism and AI slop. \n\n\n\n\nGenerative AI is proliferating on social media at an alarming rate. Images are generated and disseminated with political agendas\, particularly in right-wing spheres. These AI-generated images often depict soldiers\, sad children\, or interior designs. Of particular note are the catfishing-style “I need a husband” posts featuring women with impossible proportions\, ostensibly seeking partners. These chimeric creations are bot-driven posts designed to farm engagement\, but they also offer a chilling glimpse into AI-driven beauty standards and the lack of diversity in AI-generated women. These posts reflect a mechanical view of the male gaze. However\, an AI cannot truly comprehend the male gaze\, and in its attempt to mimic it\, it creates beings beyond understanding. This research project aims to analyze the patterns in these images\, explore posting methods and engagement\, and how it relates to Mussolini\, Hitler and current right wing media. I will examine the meaning behind the images culminating in an artistic piece critiquing both the images and their creation and dissemination methods. By rendering these AI-generated images as classical Greek statues through Gaussian splatting and 3D printing\, we aim to create a visual commentary on the intersection of AI\, beauty standards\, and the male gaze. This artistic approach not only highlights the absurdity of these digital constructs but also invites viewers to critically examine AI’s role in shaping contemporary perceptions of beauty and gender roles.Generative AI is proliferating on social media at an alarming rate.
