With new AI image models (like NanoBanana), the level of realism is getting insane. I keep seeing pictures of insanely beautiful girls online and then realizing they’re not real after a couple of seconds.
And these images are perfect: flawless skin, ideal proportions, symmetry, lighting, everything. Basically the “dream version” of a human, but engineered.
So here’s the thought:
If AI keeps improving and the internet gets flooded with these hyper-real, hyper-perfect faces, we might reach a point where people can’t even tell what’s real anymore. And once that happens, won’t we start comparing real humans to these AI-generated “perfect humans”?
Like a new beauty standard that literally no human can reach.
It’s similar to what happened with supermodels and Photoshop, but this time the standard isn’t just unrealistic — it’s non-human. I wonder if this will mess with how people feel attraction, fall in love, or even approach dating. Because if the brain gets used to AI-level perfection, real people might start feeling “not enough.”
