Computer software produces what the human eye considers the perfect face.

The Israeli computer scientists' system creates models based on the innate preferences that studies show we have for faces, from eye shape and distance apart to nose length and lip curve.

I see articles like that from time to time. I always feel that yes, they are pretty (male or female) but I like a bit of 'character', just a little quirk. Maybe that's just me being weird though. I mean, most people I know find Matt Bellamy ugly but I've always liked to way he looks (and sounds!).

She ended up looking more like a caricature.

Yeah, I think Mona Lisa was much prettier before. But then again, she is a painting and not a photo.
