AI Perfection Fuels a Return to Looking Human
Sunday, August 16, 2026
Amanda Mull, senior reporter at Bloomberg Businessweek, reported that consumers are moving away from highly polished imagery in influencer content, filters, and AI-generated visuals. Mull said on Bloomberg This Weekend that this shift may favor a more natural aesthetic as people seek individuality and experiences less optimized for social media. She noted the trend does not necessarily indicate a decline in cosmetic procedures like Botox, but rather a change in preference toward less perfected appearances.
