I remember Eliza. Wonderful program.
Agreed that the article is WAY too feminist. There’s nothing wrong with liking pretty people in imagination. I think we’re all pretty comfortable liking average and even unattractive appearing people in real life. Because in real life we’re getting a good amount of personality to go along with appearance and that really wins big. A smile and a laugh and we can be hooked.
In imagination, you can let loose with adorable people because it’s NOT real. So all in favor of handsome men and beautiful women AI generated, but give me good, decent, funny, smart men no matter what they look like in real life.
