While traditional beauty contests are heavily criticized, the "Miss AI" has now been crowned: this went to influencer Kenza Layli, who, according to her Instagram profile, comes from Morocco and was created by Myriam Bessa, the founder of PhoenixAI. The second and third place winners were from France and Portugal, and their creators respectively.

The World AI Creators Awards (WAICAS) were launched by Onlyfans competitor Fanvue, whose platform mainly offers sexual content created by AI-generated persons.
The jury consists of four people, two of whom are also AI-generated. Behind Aitana Lopez is the agency for AI models "The Clueless" and behind Emily Pellegrini are the providers of a platform for AI-generated, explicit content (beacon.ai). Only Sally-Ann Fawcett, the author and former Miss Great Britain, appears to be no longer involved in the AI model business.

AI-generated women can establish unrealistic beauty ideals to which young women orient themselves. A spokesperson for the organizers rejects the accusations: it is a "playful approach" to a topic of the future.
