Wow your imagination really took off there, because that... is not what I said.

The story mentions AI to make this sound like something new and specific to AI. Whereas both heavy editing of portraits/videos, and Eurocentric beauty standards, are basically as old as photography itself.

I'm fine with criticizing the industry for racist stereotypes; can't we also criticize it for perpetuating the myths of unrealistic perfect bodies and complexions?
