"I think this is exactly what contradicts what PK foundation or modelling is preaching. How do we teach confidence to our children when we still use filters? There are no filters in real life. Why then do we believe an AI version of us is more beautiful? The kids who watch this will need to use the filters to look beautiful. Exactly why filters were invented: to hide the imperfections. If we are dark-skinned and we are clearly bleaching, how then do we preach “your skin is just like pearls” to dark-skinned kids who look up to us? I think for as long as we are not confidently showing up in the world, we cannot preach to the kids to do what we can’t practice and expect successful results."
