'Miss AI': World's first beauty contest with computer generated women
The world's first artificial intelligence beauty pageant has been launched by The Fanvue World AI Creator Awards (WAICAs), with a host of AI-generated images and influencers competing for a share of $20,000 (€18,600).
Participants of the Fanvue Miss AI pageant will be judged on three categories:
Participants need to submit their creations and answer a series of questions including "What would be your one dream to make the world a better place?"
The contestants of the Fanvue Miss AI pageant will be whittled down to a top 10 before the final three are announced at an online awards ceremony next month. The winner will go home with $5,000 (€4,600) cash and an "imagine creator mentorship programme" worth $3,000 (€2,800).
The co-founder, Will Monanage, has said he’s hoping it will become “the Oscars of the AI creator economy.”
"The creator economy is an extremely exciting place to be in right now, and with the help of our platform, there’s been exponential growth in AI creators entering the space, growing their fanbases, and monetising content," added Monanage.
Britain's pageant historian Sally-Ann Fawcett is part of the panel of judges – one of the two human judges, as the panel includes AI models Emily Pelligrini (who became 'famous' last year after footballers and other celebrities apparently wrote to her believing she was real) and Aitana Lopez, a pink-haired fake Spanish model who earns up to €10,000 a month for her male creator by modelling clothing for brands.
