I’m conducting an independent study on AI, social media, body image and creativity
Hello, I am currently conducting research for a neuroscience branch that I will apply for soon. My idea is; how artificial intelligence shapes our body perception and thoughts. While saying that artificial intelligence will take over the world, there are actually tons of people who look like each other, and I think most of them are due to the perception of beauty. That's why I think that artificial intelligence, along with social media, has a serious effect on body dysmorphic disorder. Not only limited to this, I think that our habit of reading books may have decreased during the period when we are very used to social media with the pandemic, and that the RGB light we are exposed to because we look at the screen a lot is also harmful to our ability to describe, imagine and creativity. You can help me collect data by filling out the questions in the form or by stating your opinion in the comments. Thanks!

hi DenizTektek Interesting research topic. I think the relationship between AI, social media, and body image is worth exploring, especially with the growing use of AI-generated images, beauty filters, and digitally altered content.
One important area to investigate is how repeated exposure to unrealistic beauty standards may influence self-perception, confidence, and body image, particularly among younger people.
It would also be interesting to study whether increased screen time affects reading habits, attention span, imagination, and creativity. However, these areas should be examined separately rather than assuming a direct cause-and-effect relationship.
One suggestion: consider comparing different age groups and their social media usage patterns. That could help identify meaningful differences in how people respond to AI-generated and edited content.
Best wishes for your research!
