Yesterday, Rubik's Cube being 50 years old inspired me to start today with the Caesar Salad being a century old. More specifically, July 4 was not only Independence Day, but also the birthday of this dish.- Invented in Tijuana.
- But this is an Italian salad, invented by Caesar Cardini.
- Tijuana then was a bustling international city with bullfights, mobsters, movie stars and the like.
The music being blared might have been Al Jolson's California Here I Come.- That day, the restaurant was overwhelmed by holiday travelers, so he and his brother just tossed some olive oil, egg and parmesan over Romaine lettuce. Perhaps an anchovy.
The Caesar demands innovation, and people who later prepared it also added some Worcestershire, or Tabasco or lemon juice, and perhaps bacon, kimchi and anything an adventurous cook might choose.- Thus, the endurance of the Caesar Salad.
Artificial Intelligence, or AI, invokes fear, utility, the future and a wide variety of emotions. However, there is an AI-generated beauty pageant that is real, but not.
The Miss Universe contest has been around since 1952, and has suffered major decline over the past few years. In May, the reigning Miss USA and Miss Teen USA abandoned their crowns. What's happening to the real world?
Anyway, the World AI Creators Awards gathered 10 finalists to find Miss AI.
- The first place AI creator will win a cash prize of $5000, access to Imagine Education's Mentorship Programme worth $3000 and PR support said to have a value of $5000. The second and third place human AI designers will also win smaller awards.
- The judges? You don't know them, but see here.
- What do these judges look for?
- Beauty.
- Tech...sill at digital masterpiecing.
- Social clout...using platforms such as Instagram.
- What is Miss AI? Launched after the first beauty pageant 200 years ago, Fanvue--a subscription-based social media platform--presents the future based on AI-generated creations.
There were 1500 entries from individuals and teams from the world over. Here are the 10 finalists:
- Kenza Layli, Morocco.

The finalists all look too real, with the right demeanor. In comparison, here are some Homo sapien examples: Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu of India, Miss Universe 2023.
