‘Men name my physique dimples disgusting – AI fashions are warping their minds’

A body positive influencer blasted AI models after claiming the hypersexualised ‘women’ are ‘warping’ boys’ minds.

Danae Mercer Ricci, 37, from the US, is a self-love content creator and journalist who dedicates her social media platform to helping other women embrace their bodies.

Despite her efforts to normalise ‘normal’ parts of the body, continually debunking influencer posing trickery is the least of Danae’s worries at the moment.

She already ‘often’ receives body shaming comments from men on her cellulite embracing posts, and, according to Danae, the blurring of real and fake is to blame.

The mum-of-one is now gravely concerned about the impending AI advancement and what this means for woman, girls, men and boys.

And ahead of the world’s first AI beauty pageant fronted by Fanvue, Danae thinks this is going to ‘warp’ the male perception of what a real woman looks like even further.

Speaking exclusively to Daily Star, Danae explained: “When I pose my body to look quite like some of these ladies where I can make my bum look really big and my waist look really small, it’s a pose in certain lights and certain angles.

“Then if I stand normal and show my cellulite, my wiggles and dimples I will absolutely have men in my comments being like ‘no, that’s not the same woman’.

“Or they’ll say ‘oh my God, that’s disgusting’ or ‘put that away, put on some pants’ because we have so warped the perception of what is normal. So they don’t understand the vast majority of women do not look like what they see online.”

Although creating sexually explicit deepfakes (a hyper-realistic fake image of a real person) will face prosecution in England and Wales as the Government attempt to ‘crack down’ on ‘abuse towards women and girls’, generating sexy and sexual AI models continues to boom.

‘Digital AI-Influencer’ Emily Pellegrini, a ‘judge’ for the world’s first Miss AI contest, allegedly made $10,000 (£8,100) in just six weeks for her creator who made her after asking ChatGPT what the “average man’s dream girl” is.

Danae noted that a lot of hypersexualised AI models have links on their Instagram and X profiles to more X-rated content – just like ’23-year-old’ Emily.

As AI technology grows and the model’s become more ‘perfect’ and ‘realistic’, the mum thinks that this will only further ‘twist’ male minds.

“A lot of the AI influencers we are seeing are hypersexualised ‘women’, sometimes very young looking, but still really sexual women in very minimal clothing,” Danae said.

“If you look at their followers, a lot of their followers are men and often what these AI influencers will promote is that they link to an external site from their Instagram or Twitter that people can pay a subscription fee to see these women undressed or doing sexual things – kind of like an OnlyFans.

“Often that’s what these AI influencers are doing, making money off of people subscribing to them – men and boys.”

“Suddenly we have these ridiculously perfect women that can do everything as they are unreal, literally not real.

“So that really really worries me, considering how increasingly young boys are being exposed to porn and sexual content on the internet.

“I think this is just going to screw things up more, and really twist their minds.”

Along with boys and young men being exposed to porn and the rise of hypersexualised AI models, Danae ‘worries’ that they’ll no longer be able to grasp what a ‘normal’, living breathing woman looks like – and wants.

And with the likes of an AI image generator claiming to make 500,000 NSFW photos – of mainly women – a day and AI beauty competitions being held, the mother and influencer questions what is going to happen to the ‘reality element’ of it all.

Danae concluded: “And my worry here is that already we see in the porn industry how porn has warped men and boys perceptions of what is normal, what a normal women’s body looks like, what a normal intimate relationship looks like and that is already based on real people.

“What’s going to happen with the reality element altogether?”
