If plastic surgery is based on people with good looks, it seems to be very loosely based on them!

For some reason, I read it as Al, like weird AL Yankovic, and I thought he was making a parody video on beautiful people by Marilyn manson.

Then beauty standards would be based on AI generated images. Full circle of simulacra.

I spent way too long trying to figure out what Marilyn Manson had to do with any of this

And as AI becomes more and more lifelike and humans become more suspicious of too-perfect appearances, people with plastic surgery will unexpectedly find themselves on the wrong side of the uncanny valley.

Like a game of broken telephone

Sometimes AI images help me see more clearly what is wrong with our societies. Because, really? That image is connected to this word? I can feel how, but that's f*cked up.
