Miss AI.. the first beauty pageant competition with artificial intelligence

With their flawless features and enviable curves, these beauty queens make these Miss World contestants look almost ordinary, but upon closer inspection you may notice that they share a common trait – that none of them are real.
Welcome to Miss AI, the world’s premier competition for amazing digital girls, where a perfect “pixel” appearance could be the key to victory in the end, and the prizes are primarily reserved for the experts who have created the most attractive model/influencer in the field of artificial intelligence.

Miss AI is the first competition for the World AI Creator Awards (WAICA), sponsored by creator content site Fanvue, and co-founder Will Monange said: “The creator economy is a very exciting place right now.

He continued, “There has been tremendous growth in the number of AI creators entering this field, and with the help of our platform, fan bases have been increased and content monetized.”

“Miss AI recognizes the talent and technology that will help raise standards within the industry, “It is just one award as part of a programme, and we share the vision for the WAICAs to become the Oscars of the AI ​​innovator economy.”

Unlike real-life beauty pageant hopefuls, who are often criticized for their looks, personality, and charity work, Miss AI contestants will be judged on their beauty, skill and implementation of the AI ​​tools used to create them, as well as their influence on social media. . Influencers.

“At the intersection of traditional competition and technology, the Miss AI pageant represents a huge leap forward,” adds Sally-Anne, “and is being launched almost 150 years after the world’s first real beauty pageant, which was held in the 1880s.” ten.

This year, the Miss Universe organization eliminated the age limit and allowed married women and mothers to participate. “Maybe, over the next few years, they will allow AI contestants to enter as well,” but as the line between human and machine continues to blur, how will traditional beauty queens compete with These virtual foxes?

Digital queens

“Most beauty queens I talk to about AI pageants take it very seriously,” says Sally-Anne. “They think it’s a bit weird but they don’t feel threatened. “After all, you can be a great cybergirl, but in the end… Ultimately, you can’t beat being a real living doll.”
Will added that the awards will recognize the “hard work” that goes into making these VR influencers happen. He added: “There is a huge amount of skill, time and effort that goes into using the tools to create them,” so it’s very exciting that the first dedicated awards program has now been launched.
