Show HN: A Controversial Attractiveness Game
uglyor.fitCaution: it's a little ad-heavy at the moment (sorry) but we need to sustain the hosting cost somehow.
The idea is to survey the Internet about what "attractive" means and see if some consensus is reached.
The statistical process for determining this will be made available soon!
As always, suggestions and criticism is welcome.
It looks like a huge pile of AI-generated images, so it likely won't give you accurate data. Even if it did, research into what people find attractive already exists, so I'm not sure that I buy the premise that you are trying to do new research here. It looks like "Hot or not", but with AI. Kinda weird, seems pointless?
This is a fair criticism for the current state of the site - but our goal is to expand this if the PoC gives useful results.
In our experience people are very sensitive about allowing their images to be used for certain generalisations of research like this; e.g., when it comes to guessing someone's ethnicity or gender.
Our goal is to allow questions to be answered for those generalizations and we are working on adding those to the website soon.
Hot or Not returns?
