The provided text from "Ugly Women – Philosophics" explores the subjectivity of beauty and the limitations of artificial intelligence in comprehending and representing it. The author describes an experiment where an AI image generator, MidJourney, was prompted to create "ugly women," yet it consistently produced aesthetically pleasing, conventionally attractive images. This outcome highlights the AI's bias towards optimising desirability based on its training data, rather than reflecting a true understanding of what is considered unattractive. Furthermore, the text suggests that human society's skewed perception of beauty has become so ingrained that even our concept of "ugliness" is now viewed through a filter of synthetic attractiveness. Ultimately, the piece critiques both the AI's inability to deviate from established beauty standards and humanity's complicity in perpetuating these narrow definitions.https://philosophics.blog/2025/06/25/ugly-women/
