I believe the appropriate answer there is, "gouge your eyes out so you could no longer tell the difference."

Wow wtf. Their apology doesn't even hint at one of the biggest problems in the question, that people shouldn't be aspiring to become "better" AI-generated versions of themselves. What kind of dick asks people to even consider that?
Yesterday ironically, I added a field in my dating profile that says essentially: If you have AI’d and filtered the heck out of your profile photos, we are not going to get along.
... Its a Korean beauty contest. The country with the highest rates of cosmetic plastic surgery in the world.
I... I get what you're driving at, that people in general shouldn't be so driven toward perfection in outward appearance.
But its a beauty contest, in a society where over 25% of women under 40 have had some kind of plastic surgery. and a huge cultural emphasis on perfection of physical appearance, where using AI enhanced filters is also hugely prevalent.
I'm not saying this is good, I personally don't like beauty contests, I don't like widespread unrealistic beauty standards.... but I don't see how this question, absent its fumbled lingo adding overt sexual connotations, is surprising at all.
...
It's like being a vegan who is confused and angered by someone asking contestants at a hot dog eating contest how they prep before the contest:
Why isn't the issue of meat eating being addressed at this meat eating contest?
...
Context should answer your question of 'why do people at a beauty contest get asked how they would improve their beauty?'
They definitely seem to have a “type”
What a fucked up question.
