Maybe the average professionally photographed in good lighting person...
57Also white; even though Europe and North America only have around 15% of the world population.
(I would try to find a better estimate of population of "white" people, which is not even a well-defined group, in the world; but I cannot find it.)
34Maybe you are actually looking for Indo-European or eurasians descendants that at least has some meaning outside of AmericaTM
Edit: expected to easily find some rough estimates but there is nothing at hand. Will dive later in academic publications

The actual average probably looks much more Asian, given where the largest population centres are.
51What'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 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.
27People 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.
20The real average was our intelligence all along
18People 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 more likely means 'like faces that were called average in the dataset' rather than an actual average.
10That seems like an extremely chiseled jaw line on the guy for all the features to be averaged.

If only I looked average
14I 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?!
10I'm pretty sure that's how AI image generation works.
10What would explain a lot at least

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.

Wouldn't the average BMI be uhhh, much higher than this?
8You mean, in North America? NA and Europe?

Average touched up photos of white people. Why does she have spaghetti O's stain around her mouth?
6Because the average of totally spaghetti-o stained and not at all spaghetti-o stained is light spaghetti-o stained mouth corners

I'm really pulling down the average.
6So, young Bjork and old Daniel Radcliffe.
5She looks much better than average so I don't know...
5In Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, the most average person was created to go inconspicuously undercover on earth. Problem was that she was extremely beautiful and instead of being anonymous she attracted a lot of attention.
Average means average size, distance between eyes, size of lips etc etc.13
I mean the grey background and bland expression may be skewing our perception. I wanna see these people in a meadow with a mouth open smile wearing colorful pastel clothing!
On another note I'd love to see photoshop battles start up on Lemmy 😎
4I want to live where she’s “average”
4Well, 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.
4Ok now do weighted average

dude looks like gigachad
