The Impact of TikTok's Bold Glamour Filter on Mental Health.
Bold Glamour, a TikTok filter that enhances facial features, has sparked concerns about its potential to worsen self-esteem and encourage plastic surgery. While it is not the first filter to alter faces, it is more realistic than previous filters and has been created by TikTok itself. Experts suggest that it is only the beginning of a new era of filters and that it will become increasingly difficult to distinguish between real and altered images. Some suggest that tech companies should take responsibility for labeling A.I.-generated images, while others believe that individuals should assume that everything they see online might be fake.
