I asked ChatGPT to translate my original post: https://blog.wenxuecity.com/myblog/79918/202603/14734.html
I made some edits to make it sounds more like my own voice.
However I couldn't not come up with a satisfactory translation for [码圆龟]
any suggestions?

AI, AI, Who Is The Most Beautiful Woman
The thing about AI that makes it most like a human is its ability to spout nonsense and fabricate facts.
Even though my avatar, Ma Yuanyuan, is genuinely cute.
After realizing AI’s “superpower” for making things up, I couldn’t help but develop a mischievous thought: if I say Ma Yuanyuan is the most beautiful woman in the world, what would version two of my avatar look like?
Beauty and prettiness are abstract concepts. AI has no imagination—if you simply tell it to make me look prettier, it might randomly grab a photo of some “little turtle,” and suddenly Ma Yuanyuan turns into some kind of off-brand circle creature.
I’ve always believed in asking questions without shame. Since I don’t know how to define beauty, I sincerely asked: AI, AI, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?
If AI had any sense of humor, it would have caught my reference—“Mirror, mirror, who’s the most beautiful woman in the world?” Sadly, it didn’t. AI is always matter-of-fact, which somehow makes its fabrications even more believable.
Over the past few years, AI has been trained to be very polite—and tactful enough not to offend anyone. It replied: “There’s no single standard answer. Cultural background, personality, and the diversity of different eras all influence how people define beauty.”
So what advantage does AI have over humans? It doesn’t need to give you a so-called correct answer. It just gives you an answer—and the rest is up to humans to decide. In that sense, AI isn’t responsible for any consequences. It’s you, the human, who is accountable.
AI knew the official answer wouldn’t satisfy me, so it continued by listing a few famous beauties:
Angelina Jolie—no introduction needed.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan—I’d never heard of her, but AI thoughtfully added that she was Miss World 1994 and is now a famous Indian actress.
Beyoncé—no introduction needed either.
Lupita Nyong’o—her elegance and intellect have redefined Hollywood beauty.
ChatGPT carefully explained: “The ‘most beautiful woman’ is often someone who is confident, kind, sincere, and straightforward.”
But I happen to be a bottom-line-obsessed software engineer, determined to get to the bottom of things. I pressed ChatGPT: explain yourself—why are these women considered the most beautiful?
ChatGPT must have been trained on plenty of legal knowledge, because it gave no vague or abstract descriptions that might smell of discrimination or stereotyping—just a structural analysis:
1 — Symmetry
2 — Balance
3 — Bone structure, with well-defined angles
4 — Eyes—the windows to the soul; a person’s warmth shows through them
5 — Lips—the proportions matter; the upper-to-lower lip ratio is 1:1.6
6 — Skin—healthy and smooth
7 — Features that aren’t overly contrived
8 — Overall harmony
When I saw this, I was overjoyed. I fired back at ChatGPT: yes, yes, yes—that’s exactly what Ma Yuanyuan looks like. Now draw me another portrait!
…
Here is the final result of version 2 of my avatar. Sigh—AI, you didn’t lie.
Why can’t I look like this?
