So be it.

Do you know what petite means? It means short. You can be petite and weigh 200 pounds. There are petite plus size departments in stores.

I'm a tallish thin redhead. It drives me nuts when men use the word petite out of context. They think it means skinny. My ex used to describe me as petite and I'm an inch shorter than he is. ( shakes head )

Robots are computers, programmed by people. And standards of beauty have changed over time. Apparently a big butt, which women used to hate, is a desirable thing now. Strong jawlines and longer noses aren't a detriment to being a model now. Selma Hayak would not have had a chance back in the day, and Paris Hilton would have needed to get that nose cropped off a bit on the tip.

AI also still has a long way to go. we aren't going Skynet any time soon.

You might want to google "petite" . Marketing might call a dress "petite plus" but that is not the definition. It is true that a tall woman would not be considered petite, but a 200 pound 4' 6" would not be petite either.

Yes. But let me just post the first few definitions I find so we can be on the same page:

Dictionary.com: (of a woman) having a small and attractively dainty build

Merriam-Webster Dictionary: having a small and thin body

Urban Dictionary: a woman under 5'4 who is small-framed and usually skinny

Cambridge Dictionary: if a woman or girl is petite, she is small and thin in an attractive way

The Free Dictionary: short and slender

It means a bit more than short. It has two elements. Dainty, thin, small-framed, usually skinny, slender -- all those words are also used in the basic definitions I found in a quick search.
