„De ce vrem să ne comparăm cu un robot?”. Modelele generate de AI invadează rețelele sociale. Cum pot influența imaginea corporală a tinerilor

Artificial intelligence-generated models are increasingly present on social media and in advertising, raising concerns about their impact on body image, especially among youth. Mia Perumal, a 19-year-old recovering from an eating disorder, fears that AI technology could exacerbate unrealistic beauty standards. She notes a rise in AI-generated images of extremely thin individuals, which can negatively influence young viewers. Kelly Watts, a mother, worries her son may compare himself to these unrealistic portrayals. Experts like Phillippa Diedrichs highlight the narrow beauty ideals perpetuated by AI, which can lead to negative self-perception. However, Diedrichs also suggests that AI could promote diversity if used thoughtfully. Users are encouraged to critically assess the impact of such images on their self-esteem.
