Influencer shares epic — and possibly harmful— clapback for men who tell her she ‘isn’t pretty’

Influencer Responds to Critics with AI Ratings

Mary Southworth, an influencer known as @hr.honey, addresses men who call her "unattractive" by using AI to rate their looks, sparking viral discussion about beauty standards.

Challenging "Pretty Privilege"

Mary often shares content related to human resources but recently discussed the concept of "pretty privilege"—the societal advantage given to those deemed conventionally attractive, which can affect opportunities in careers, dating, and life.

“I had a lot of people let me know that it’s not actually true in my case,” Mary said in a follow-up video.

Using AI to Turn the Tables

To respond to her critics, Mary created a custom AI tool based on GPT, programmed to rate attractiveness from 1 to 10 according to current beauty standards. She added a humorous note:

“Just so we can see who’s really right here. I’ll also throw in a couple of tips from ChatGPT on how they can raise their score, in case they’re interested in doing that.”

Examples of AI Ratings

Mary’s approach highlights the subjective nature of beauty and flips the critique back onto those who judge her appearance.

“Pretty privilege” affects access to job, dating, and life opportunities based on conventional attractiveness.

Author’s summary: Mary Southworth creatively uses AI to challenge male critics on social media, emphasizing the arbitrary standards of beauty and inviting a reconsideration of bias.
