Please don't roast me here, but why is wanting to know what someone looks like without makeup such a bad thing? I've never even thought about it before, so please don't take this as advocating for it. It just doesn't immediately occur to me what the problem would be.

I get why it's gross to have an app to remove clothing, but makeup feels like a different category.

What about an app that changes or removes hair? Or one for sunglasses/jewelry?

Are they all gross in some way that I'm missing? Is it creepy to remove makeup from photos but not creepy to remove earrings?

I've edited people's makeup and faces as part of the process of learning Photoshop, so I understand what you're saying. There are perfectly normal applications for this.

The issue is intent. A lot of men think that women are "lying" when they wear makeup. They think that the most valuable quality a woman can have is natural beauty, and treat makeup as trickery.

There's no shortage of men who think "You'd look better without makeup" is a compliment too.

An app like this would inevitably be used to help streamline the process of harassIng and negging women online.

There's also the matter that women can put great time and effort into their makeup, and having someone remove their hard work from an image and throw it back at them is quite insulting. A makeup artist is still an artist and they likely don't want their peers wielding tools designed specifically to nullify their work.

It shouldn't be illegal or anything. No law against being an asshole. But it isn't an app that will be used with good intent in most cases, and we should definitely pay attention because the "modify pictures of other people's faces and bodies" use case for AI appears to have the potential to do a great deal of harm.

A makeup artist is still an artist

Bro I must have missed that section at the Louvre, can you suggest a few masterpieces for me to look up?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If inclusion in the Louvre is an obligatory status to be considered art, then makeup is absolutely art.

The brainrot is real. what do you think you proved linking to a press release about an ad campaign? where are the masterpieces of makeup? Zendaya and other zoomer influencers are unfortunately not art you tard

Look, you're the one who set the Louvre as the standard for what is or isn't art. If you want to keep moving the goalpost, by all means, explain what you actually think makes something art.
