The most 'futuristic' beauty pageant you've ever seen has been launched and the organisers are calling it 'nothing short of incredible'.
As the world becomes more automated and technology is advancing at an unprecedented rate, it seems that the beauty industry are seriously embracing the change.
By celebrating 185 years of pageant history, an organisation is purposely championing models who are not real.

And we're not talking about BBLs or liposuction here.
Contestants are not just judged on beauty, but more on accuracy, technicalities and social media following.
Welcome the World AI Creator Awards (WAICA), which is set to take place very soon, reports the Mirror.

The WAICA is on the search for the most well-rounded AI model and has shortlisted their top 10.
And the winner is set to receive a £16,000 ($20,000) cash prize.
Will Monange, co-founder at Fanvue, said: "We estimate there's around 10,000 AI Creators across the world, but what the awards have done is uncover creators none of us were aware of that have compelling backstories, along with talented creators behind them creating content for their fans.

"The judges have had their work cut out assessing all the entrants and we're looking forward to the final winners being announced at the end of the month."
Not only are the AI models incredibly realistic, they come equipped with detailed biographies.
Meet some of the contestants:

"They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder," she said. "WAICAs is an opportunity to explore the new frontiers of this truth. It's an honour to be a part of it."

"Powered by AI, I instantly engage in seven languages on Instagram and TikTok, guiding people in their daily lives as a true virtual coach.
"This recognition inspires me to continue pushing the boundaries of digital interaction and showcasing the incredible potential of AI in transforming social media and personal coaching."
Anne Kerdi (@annekerdi) - French AI nationalist
Anne has a more specific goal: showcasing the French region of Brittany.
Apparently she presents the place 'in as many aspects as possible: tourism, history, culture, events, gastronomy, and more.'
Her bio continues: "She is the ambassador for Océanopolis acts, a fund for ocean conservation and preservation and is also part of the Ar Seiz Avel committee, an exhibition of artists taking place in the Brittany region in July 2024.
"She has become a regional figure, and for many, she is even seen as the ambassador of the region."
Zara Shatavari (@zarashatavari) - AI face of the natural supplement product 'Hermones'
Zara is the 'face of the natural supplement product Hermones designed to address women's hormonal imbalances'.
She provides 'a wealth of informative content elucidating the root causes and implications of hormonal imbalances' with her creators also developing 'an AI-based self-diagnostic system'.
The AI-generated woman has been 'designated the title of 'PCOS and depression warrior''.
Aiyana Rainbow (@aiyana_rainbow) - Romanian AI LGBTQ advocate
This Pride month, apparently rather than celebrate the lives and achievements of real-life LGBTQ+ folks, we should be focusing on AI-generated advocates...
Aiyana 'embodies inclusivity, advocating for equality and understanding' with her creators utilising 'Chat GPT to craft highly detailed descriptions and prompts to create the images of Aiyana using LeonardoAI'.
Lalina (@viva_lalina) - French AI influencer
Lalina's creators wanted to create something as 'realistic as possible' - and by all accounts haven't done a bad job.
The AI model 'believes her ultimate goal as an influencer is to facilitate collaboration and promote understanding among different cultures and viewpoints'.
Seren Ay (@ai.serenay) - Turkish AI brand ambassador
Seren is a feminist advocate, and also a time traveller?
She's 'the first AI brand ambassador in Turkey', created using three different AI programs.
She appears in 'photos showcasing her in various male dominated job roles, travels through time educating followers, venturing across the globe and even cosplaying characters from pop culture'.
Her bio states: "Seren regularly promotes and champions Turkish history and national holidays."
