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

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.
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.
The real average was our intelligence all along
That seems like an extremely chiseled jaw line on the guy for all the features to be averaged.

It more likely means ‘like faces that were called average in the dataset’ rather than an actual average.
If only I looked average
I too, am surprised, how much below I am of the average teen vampire fantasy
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?!
I’m pretty sure that’s how AI image generation works.
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.
I want to live where she’s “average”
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.
So, young Bjork and old Daniel Radcliffe.
I’m really pulling down the average.
