Beauty by Robot

from Going Human · host Moss

AI wants two jobs that used to belong to other people: reading your body and caring for it. Smart mirrors now scan your face, score fifteen-plus "concerns," and sell you the cure for the flaw they just invented. Robot tables sell you a massage with the person removed and call it the upgrade.Moss drops the Stone on personal-care AI, then sits down with Shannon Walsh, Redken colorist and holistic stylist behind Salon Halloo, who has spent 36 years doing by hand the relationship-built care these companies are trying to fake. Then the Fuckery: the booking bot that frees the human (fuck yes), the nudifier apps that turn body-reading all the way to evil (fuck no), and a touch-free robot massage that could go either way (fuck maybe). Tsunami: let a human care for your body with their hands this week.One ask: follow and subscribe wherever you're listening, then come to GoingHumanPod.com to vote on this week's fuck-maybe (the robot massage) and drop a comment. Your vote sets next week's verdict. One drop does nothing. A million of us is a tsunami.Going Human. Because robots can't.Content warning: frank language and a segment on AI-generated abuse imagery.
