An interesting study shows that artificial intelligence is better at judging the attractiveness of human faces than humans themselves.
"Big models consistently exhibit a socially desirable bias, choosing responses that appear polite or positive. ".
Artificial intelligence probably doesn't want to upset people. The researchers took 102 photos of people and asked 2,300 respondents to rate their attractiveness on a scale of 1 to 7, with 1 being the lowest score and 7 being the highest. And this is what happened:
“The average human rating across all faces was 3.02, while the cumulative average AI rating was higher at 4.71. The AI models also used a narrower end of the scale from 1 to 7. They never gave the lowest score to any face, indicating an ingrained reluctance to rate the human appearance as unattractive." Or maybe it's not the kindness of the AI, but the disgust of people who deliberately give low attractiveness ratings, especially in relation to men:.
"Human raters rated male faces about 0.65 points lower than female ones, but the AI models only overestimated male faces by 0.1 to 0.2 points. ".
