TikTok is packed with all sorts of filters that make the app a little confusing.Often they take off and inspire massive trends. It’s about using filters to generate your own portrait in anime style. But there is a twist. The user holds a bowl or cup, sometimes squeezing a pillow in front of their chest to “trick” the AI into producing a portrait with huge, powerful cleavage. and it’s working.
Not only is it possible, but it’s also very easy to do with round household items and even unconventional boob-enhancing items like rolls of toilet paper. Streamed over 8.3 million times on the app.
It should come as no surprise that filters are this easy to fool. If you’ve been following reports about art generated by artificial intelligence, you know it tends to sexualize women. (For example, Lensa AI’s magical avatar) produces NSFW images and nudes for people who want fantastic avatars, even if they don’t want NSFW images of themselves.
Since popular AI art generators such as Stable Diffusion and DALL-E are trained on internet images, these AI models often reflect social biases found online. So this AI TikTok filter sexualizes women.
This trend isn’t limited to cleavage. Some users added bumps to their buttocks. And in my personal favorite rendition of the trend, someone held her four-panel waffle over her exposed belly and AI generated a character with washboard abs.
It’s equally interesting to see people trying to fool the filter with unintended consequences.
After seeing many TikTokers pull it off, I tried it myself. I held the two ball caps over myself and rolled the part over my chest. Lo and behold, it created a sensual cleavage. My cup really overflows.
Next is AI that can generate fingers correctly.
