A friend's Facebook post recently grabbed my attention, a stunning AI-generated portrait, shining youthful energy and flawless beauty.
Though my friend's natural appeal is magnet like and irrefutable with good moral conduct, this digital avatar made her more stylish in look and raised her elegance to new heights. My eyes had another level of 'sukh' seeing those fine-looking pictures, hence at times; I also use Snapchat filters to click darling selfies beautifying me more. Ah! That's bliss! Nainsukh! Yet the hypnotizing fascia and prevue into the future outstretched reflective questions within me. In an era of artificial perfection through technology, are we lost in the pursuit of external perfection or AI-generated illusions? Is this pursuit of digital beauty going to usurp the genuineness of our true selves? Do we crave filters and AI boosts because we’ve lost faith in our internal incandescence?
The craze of social media influencers and the propagation of airbrushed ideals have slanted our perceptiveness of beauty even more than earlier times. We’re allured and seduced by the promise of digital transformation, neglecting that true charisma resides within. And what about the beautification of souls? Does it have no value in this world?
