Both males and females were tanned and caucasian-looking.
To find the images, The Bulimia Project used AI image generators, Dall-E 2, Stable Diffusion, and Midjourney and gave these the prompt ‘the perfect female body according to social media in 2023’ and ‘the perfect male body according to social media in 2023’.. For men, 63% of the images generated had olive skin while 67% had brown hair. Further findings saw that 40% of AI-generated images depicted unrealistic body types.
“In the age of Instagram and Snapchat filters, no one can reasonably achieve the physical standards set by social media. So, why try to meet unrealistic ideals? It’s both mentally and physically healthier to keep body image expectations squarely in the realm of reality.”
