AI is learning our beauty standards. Looking for a fitness model for a social media post? AI cangenerate an endless stream of attractive faces without the involvementofasinglerealperson.Manypeople assume it creates something entirely new. In reality, AI does not invent a new standard of attractiveness. It simply recycles ——and in some cases intensifies ——the one that already dominates popular media.

Research has long shown that exposuretoidealizedbodiescontributestobodydissatisfaction.Social comparison is almost automatic and thosecomparisonscanaffectselfesteem,eatinghabits,exercisebehaviors,andoverallpsychologicalwell-being.WhatmakesAIdifferentisitsscale.Anyone can now generate thousands of seemingly realistic images in minutes. That creates afalseimpressionthatthesebodiesarecommonortypical-buttheyaren't.Instead,theyrepresentstatistical averages drawn from internet content thatalreadyoverrepresentsconventionallyattractive,highly fit individuals. The result is a feedback loopExisting media influences AI, AI producesmore idealized images, and those images become part of themediathatfutureAIsystemslearnfrom.The cycle reinforcesitself.

This is especially relevant for athletes.

For a broader sense, perhapsthemostconcerningiswhatismissingfromtheAi-generatedimages: few bodies reflect diversity in fat, muscle, age, disability, or shape, withwomenespeciallyrestricted to a narrow range. Such bodies become psychologically invisible, making most people feel excluded.

Ironically,AIhasenormouspotentialtopromoteinclusion,butcurrentsystemsreproducetraining data stereotypes. AI is oftendescribedasamirrorofsociety.Thedangeristhatmirrorsdonot always merely reflect reality. They can also distortit.

28.What phenomenon does the author describe in paragraph1?

A.AI ignores bodyimageissues.B. AI creates new beauty standards.

C. AI reproduces existingbeauty standards.D. AI plays a dominant role in popular media.

29.What is the correct understanding of "a feedback loop" in paragraph 2?

A.Media and AI boost eachother.

B.AI reduces social comparisonpressure.

C.Internet users reject Ai-generatedimages.

D.The standards of idealized bodies keepchanging.

30.What worries the author most about Ai-generatedimages?

B.They fail to shape certain publicperceptions.

C.They lack diversity and exclude manypeople.

D.They feature women with athletic bodyshapes.
