Beauty is in the AI of the beholder: MLLMs systematically overrate facial attractiveness

Beauty assessments from Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are increasingly popular, prompting a study comparing 2,513 human ratings to four commercial AI models—Claude, Gemini, GPT, and Grok. The study found that MLLMs consistently rate faces more favorably and with a narrower range than humans, yet they maintain strong correlations with human judgments and accurately track the rank‑ordering of faces. While all models agree strongly with each other, Grok showed the lowest agreement with human ratings, and only face age emerged as a common predictor of attractiveness across humans and MLLMs.
