‘Psychological warfare & pure evil’: New TikTok beauty filter is so realistic it’s ‘scary’

We live in a world today where truth is highly subjective, with the left-leaning media industry as a whole being the first casualty. There’s a fair argument to be made that while Millennials and Gen Z may be the most privileged generations in human history, so too are they among the most poorly informed.

This being a remarkable assertion given today’s technology, which consumes the lives of so many. Millennials and Gen Z are convinced of a world that does not always comport with reality, having grown up on a steady diet of falsehoods like police hunting down young black men in the streets to kill them or the claim that white people are all inherently racist and have some mythical privilege that allows them to magically excel above nonwhite people — in a society that is invoking DEI principles to openly discriminate against them.

All of which leads us to the rapid advance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as seen in online beauty filters — as one photographer suggested, it’s making a mockery of her industry because people can’t accept what they truly look like anymore.

Posting a video using a TikTok filter, she explains why the technology is “bullsh*t,” saying people use them so much that they actually believe that’s how they look.

“These filters have messed up our brains so much,” the commercial photographer said, adding that when she shows people actual photos of themselves “they’re devastated.”.

Another woman using the filter said in a video that they are so good it’s “scary,” as she explains that she’s wearing no makeup. She said some are being duped into “chasing perfection,” before stressing that this is not what people look like.

“This is psychological warfare & pure evil,” the Twitter account “memo akten” tweeted, while sharing the clip.

The videos go on and on, with “memo akten” sharing plenty of examples of women talking about how damaging the filters can be… as for dating apps, the term “buyer beware” just took on a whole different meaning:
