MI-csoda szépség!: Nézői attitűdök a mesterséges intelligencia által manipulált arcokkal kapcsolatban.

The attention of modern media research in the last decade has been focused on the truth value of images: within the field of manipulated photographs, portrait photographs represent a special group, since the human face is a specific visual stimulus that plays an important role in the perception of beauty. The present research investigated portrait photographs that have been automatically retouched by an artificial intelligence-based image editing software, using an online questionnaire. Accordint to the results, viewer’s perception of artificial intelligence based (AI-based) image retouching is not influenced by the gender or age of the photo model, nor by the gender or age of the recipients. However, the beauty judged by the recipients does affect the viewer’s attitude towards both the model and the photograph. The study points to new potential research directions in the field of AI-generated beauty ideals and automated AI-based retouching. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
