Are you hot or not? This chatbot is the ultimate decider.
Brooklyn art collective MSCHF unveiled its AI attractiveness rating bot HotChat 3000 on Thursday, but its ranking output might need some recalibration.
The software allows users to input a photo, whether of themselves or a celebrity, and regurgitates a rating from one to 10, matching the user with someone of similar attractiveness.
The robo-Y2K interface — a blinding neon green — pays homage to the World Wide Web’s era of Hot or Not and Omegle. MSCHF isn’t exactly “reinventing the wheel,” as they say, but rather drawing on inspiration and methodology from the past.
“HotChat 3000 is built from preexisting stock parts: It is a snapshot of what a convenient assemblage of publicly available models and datasets determine human hotness to be,” reads the company’s statement provided to The Post.
In other words, artificial intelligence has learned our beauty standards.
The company utilized CLIP, Open AI’s tool which is trained with 400 million image-text pairs, according to the site.
But MSCHF went one step further to refine their hotness ratings, utilizing additional datasets SCUT-FBP5500, which predicts facial beauty, and Hot or Not.
Because the software is trained by humans’ preconceived beliefs of what is not and what is not, it holds implicit bias due to our cultural stereotypes.
“Beauty standards do exist and machine learning models trained on vast amounts of data inevitably learn them,” MSCHF’s statement reads, acknowledging the AI’s “highly imperfect” nature.
The chatbot is the latest brainchild of the eccentric group, which dabbles in a bit of everything, from fashion to technology. Most known for being the masterminds behind those Big Red Boots, MSCHF also created the 2 Million Dollar Puzzle, where players have a slim chance at winning big if they can piece together the seemingly impossible jigsaw.
Their advanced AI software comes as Open AI’s ChatGPT tool has skyrocketed to popularity since its debut last fall. Students utilize it for schoolwork, newlyweds for their vows and eligible bachelors for Tinder matches — the possibilities are endless.
Now, the software is available for third-party use, and the latest tech company to jump on board is Snapchat, which introduced its chatbot feature just last week.
Amid concerns over safety and eerie capabilities, HotChat 3000 serves as a bit of nostalgic — albeit somewhat chauvinistic — fun.
The Post tested the playful software on Hollywood’s hottest, but the finicky results could raise some eyebrows.
Blonde bombshell Sydney Sweeney of “Euphoria” fame received a measly 5.2, while her hunky “Anyone But You” co-star Glen Powell scored an 8.
The pair are currently at the center of some relationship drama as photos show the actors getting a little too friendly. Speculation over what happened between Powell and ex-girlfriend Gigi Paris, who allegedly split this month, points fingers at Sweeney, who is reportedly still engaged to Jonathan Davino.
HotChat 3000 ranked serially monogamous comedian Pete Davidson at 4.3, and his exes Kim Kardashian and supermodel Emily Ratajkowski at 4.7 and 8.2, respectively. Meanwhile, Rihanna scored a whopping 9.2.
It also rated “Barbie” hunk Ryan Gosling, who earned an unsurprising 8.5, and his leading lady Margot Robbie, who scored a suspicious 3.5. But another red carpet image of the “Babylon” actress garnered a score of 7.5, proving that perhaps the angle, lighting and overall quality of the photo can trick the machine.
“Treat it like a sandbox; figure out how to get 10s back from the machine; learn how to manipulate it,” MSCHF encouraged. “We all need the practice; this is a life skill from now until eternity.”
