Maybe the average professionally photographed in good lighting person...

[–] [email protected] 34 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Also white; even though Europe and North America only have around 15% of the world population.

(I would try to find a better estimate of population of "white" people, which is not even a well-defined group, in the world; but I cannot find it.)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Maybe you are actually looking for Indo-European or eurasians descendants that at least has some meaning outside of AmericaTM

Edit: expected to easily find some rough estimates but there is nothing at hand. Will dive later in academic publications

[–] [email protected] 51 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The actual average probably looks much more Asian, given where the largest population centres are.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

What's the data set from? It will at least be skewed towards people most posting to the social media networks scraped for training data. I wouldn't be surprised if foreign language social media was substantially underrepresented in the data set because the programmers putting it together weren't as familiar with it.

I see fuck and marry, but where's kill?

[–] [email protected] 50 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The reflection on the screen.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You can always choose to fuck (or marry) yourself.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I've tried fucking myself, but my penis is too short.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

I'm not into that kink.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I don't understand how that would make it longer

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Ikr, gitgud

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

The guy already did the killing

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

It's the AI...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago
[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago

I suppose in reality it's the average of people who post pictures online and are willing to display it publicly, and probably weighted slightly by how many pictures of a person are uploaded (e.g. if someone has uploaded tens of thousands of pics of themselves - a celebrity or whatever - they will throw the average slightly towards their own face). Assuming the sample set is something like: all of social media photos of a person's face.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago (3 children)

People in the comment seems to not understand that it doesn't mean average on the "scale of beauty/attractiveness". But averaged features. Like if you merge all nose shapes of a million person you get this nose, ect.

It was tested already several years ago that people tend to like faces made by merging a lot of faces together and "averaging" them. Most of the time rating them more attractive than the individual faces used.

I don't find the source anymore... I'll check better later.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

The real average was our intelligence all along

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

That seems like an extremely chiseled jaw line on the guy for all the features to be averaged.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

People in the comment seems to not understand that it doesn't mean average on the "scale of beauty/attractiveness". But averaged features. Like if you merge all nose shapes of a million person you get this nose, ect.

It more likely means 'like faces that were called average in the dataset' rather than an actual average.

I too, am surprised, how much below I am of the average teen vampire fantasy

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago (2 children)

While I'm over here looking like a potato bug

What if the ai is lying? What if it's lazy and like "fuck it, this'll do to keep the meat bag happy."

What if?!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure that's how AI image generation works.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

What would explain a lot at least

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

If you use humans to fine tune and judge the quality of output, then in some sense, that's pretty much all the AI can possibly do.

Everyone can see the output, "I don't know." and mark it zero (dude). But the meat bags will definitely end up rewarding the model if it instead generates some plausible nonsense.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't the average BMI be uhhh, much higher than this?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

You mean, in North America? NA and Europe?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

I'm really pulling down the average.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Average touched up photos of white people. Why does she have spaghetti O's stain around her mouth?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Because the average of totally spaghetti-o stained and not at all spaghetti-o stained is light spaghetti-o stained mouth corners

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

So, young Bjork and old Daniel Radcliffe.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

She looks much better than average so I don't know...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

In Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, the most average person was created to go inconspicuously undercover on earth. Problem was that she was extremely beautiful and instead of being anonymous she attracted a lot of attention.
Average means average size, distance between eyes, size of lips etc etc.

Well, there is a J-Novel with title Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?! where the world average takes into account the state of the absolute maximum and the absolute minimum.

So an average strength human would be between an amoeba and a dragon.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Ok now do weighted average

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I want to live where she’s “average”

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

dude looks like gigachad

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I mean the grey background and bland expression may be skewing our perception. I wanna see these people in a meadow with a mouth open smile wearing colorful pastel clothing!

On another note I'd love to see photoshop battles start up on Lemmy 😎

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

So Greta Thunberg and a European guy having his mugshot taken
