Great, this looks perfect as a way to sell more fast fashion, the 2nd worst polluting industry in the world. So many better applications of this technology and instead they showcase dancing boring body stereotypes.
- nathan_compton 3y agoThanks for making me feel like I'm not the only one who has a problem with this. This is a pretty unprofessional way to publish results. Like just think for 2 seconds about what women scientists might think about this particular presentation. I'm sure there are women out there who don't have a problem with this. And I am not some kind of weirdo who has a problem with people enjoying looking at attractive people. But I think in a professional context there really isn't any good reason to lead with stuff that might alienate people. It is, at the very least, tacky.
- xrd 3y agoI was downvoted heavily on that comment. I've got two daughters and this is not the way I want them to think about usage of AI. My 8 year old is already worried about her body and her weight and it feels like it is appropriate to at least discuss how this lands on all people who see it. I appreciate your comment because the downvotes make me think I'm alone in this way of thinking.
