Little girl on the Stellest glasses ad

[SaveMeASeatOnTheBusToHell]

This one.
Why have they made her look so creepy?
Is it AI image or an actual, and presumably cute irl, girl that they’ve tweaked to look unnatural? If so, why?!

They seem an odd choice of glasses for a small child - more of a teen/20s sort of frame.

I thought maybe it was a boy

It’s surely AI generated? It gives me the creeps!

I think it's real, this seems to be the same girl on the Stellest website without the glasses.

I think she is very cute, like a tiny librarian, they just over smoothed her skin in Photoshop.

lol. I thought the exact same thing earlier! It’s def AI doesn’t look real or real then photoshopped in the slightest. Like some weird doll!

Erm, I don't think it's creepy

Please Mumsnet make her go away. She scares me.

Uncanny valley.

I assumed it was a cartoon, not a photograph

I thought I was the only one who had this thought 🤣

Oh I hate it too! AI generated. They've made the eyes look bigger and the corneas are closer to the nose than is normal. They've done a PIXAR big eyed character job on it.

AI. Weird.

I haven’t seen those. Sorry.

I’m glad others feel the same though, I was feeling mean for having this reaction to the add! It does look like the same child @RichardMarxisinnocent

It's the uncanny valley effect. She looks like a murderous doll.

@mnhq

Creepy girl is back.

I mean wtf

So they're using this image to promote something about myopia lenses, which is stupid. Lenses for shortsightedness make your eyes look smaller. It's lenses for farsightedness that create the bug-eyed look.

Lol... Both images (with and without glasses) are clearly AI.
