Ethically and morally, this contest could raise concerns regarding self-esteem to human women, young ladies, and girls. Glamour magazine, a magazine designed to highlight female topics, suggests that extensive research and analysis highlighting the detrimental effects of beauty pageants on mental health, such as low self-esteem, negative body image, and eating disorders (Ashley Moser, a certified therapist and clinical education specialist at The Renfrew Center) (Sinay, 2024). These pageants were human based. Now we have an AI pageant.
Additionally, the pageant is not only based on beauty, but also social clout, the more likes and followers, the better. These concerns already add to mental stress and anxiety. To understand how to navigate these unfamiliar waters, we must know WHO WE ARE.
We were perfectly made in the image of God.
As scripture proclaims in Genesis 2:18, “Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him” (New American Standard Bible, 2021). The original helper, according to the Old Testament, was a woman as scripture proclaims in Genesis 2:22-23, “The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man” (New American Standard Bible, 2021).
Understanding that, both men and women, need to know their place and roles in this world. AI generated humanoids would never look as good with exposed wires, bolts, and gears. AI likeness to humans is considered beautiful because of the emulation of the human beauty standards. Don’t be fooled! God made it.
In working with a synergistic relationship with AI, we must set explicit parameters and reduce the possibility of negative consequences as we transition into a new epoch in human history. When it comes to AI ethics, morals, and its use, use good judgement and discernment.
You are intricately and marvelously created by the Creator of all creators.
