I am guessing they mean “progressive” as in “including technical progress”, not progressive social views. And, no it’s not either. It’s just marketing the latest way to sell their image to advertisers.
Comment on Is Miss England's AI round dangerous or progressive?

In what fucking way would it be „progressive“?

It could be seen as “forward thinking” in the sense of being open to and accepting of technological progress.
Personally, I think it’s just trend chasing. AI might become deeply useful for many applications someday, but it’s only actually useful for a fraction of what people use it for at the moment.

This just seems like it would cause even more body dysphoria than these beauty contests already do. How is this different than just allowing fucking Photoshop? Just creates even more unrealistic body standards

Reminds me of that time I tried to play a Monster Hunter game, specifically MH3 on the Wii.
I was like “what the fuck are those controls? How am I supposed to hit those remotely efficiently?”… To which people answered with the ridiculous crime against ergonomy called “the Claw Grip”. That was the last straw and I decided the game wasn’t for me.
