Amid concerns over the threat AI poses to job security and artistic professions, Fanvue World AI Creator Awards has announced its list of 10 finalists for the first-ever Miss AI award. And they all have incredibly stereotypical biographies.

Last month, the World AI Creator Awards (WAICA) presented the first artificial intelligence (AI) beauty pageant of the world: Miss AI. The goal of the contest is to demonstrate “a change in the way we perceive beauty and creativity in the field of artificial intelligence,” and brings together AI creators from around the world to showcase their digital creations.
Amid concerns about the threat AI poses to job security and artistic professionsamong many others, everything seems a dystopian trick of which we are not very fans.
Even so, the Fanvue World AI Creator Awards have published the 10 finalist models for the first Miss AI contest, which includes AI-generated models from France, Portugal and Turkey.
More than 1,500 applications
The jury, made up of humans and androids, has selected the 10 finalists among more than 1,500 applications submitted by AI content creators from around the world.
“The awards have shown how committed creators are in the field of AI, and the level of the finalists is incredible“explained Will Monange, co-founder of Fanvue, currently the leading social media platform for AI-generated content creators.
“We estimate that there is about 10,000 AI creators around the world, but what the awards have done is discover creators that none of us knew about and who have interesting stories, along with talented creators who create content for their fans.
“That It’s the beauty of the AI creator spacewhich allows creatives to enter the creator economy with their AI-generated creations without having to show their own face.” The judges have had a lot of work evaluating all the entrants and we can’t wait for the final winners to be announced at end of the month.”
We remain skeptical, especially since a contest of this nature may further exacerbate the unreal beauty standards through the “perfection” generated by computers. That and the fact that the finalists seem like an exercise in cynicism and box-ticking, as if ChatGPT had been asked to cast a GAP brand ad.
These are the digital creations that compete for a total prize valued at about $20,000 (18,400 euros).
Warning: All biographies are horrible and full of all the clichés we could imagine. Get ready.
