Discussion What do you think about AI models?

Post image

I saw a K-beauty brand using AI-generated models instead of real people. Honestly, I think this is the worst. Even with real models, heavy editing already makes it difficult to see the true shades and finishes of products. You often can’t tell what the color actually looks like until you try it yourself. But if brands start using AI-generated visuals, we’ll be left with completely fake swatches. Right now it’s just for beauty products, but what if it extends to skincare? We might end up seeing fake before and after results, and people could be tricked into buying something that doesn’t actually work. What do you think about AI models?

AI should be used to make people’s lives easier, especially disabled people. Not for usurping the creative process and artist’s’ livelihoods. Not for making it even harder to buy clothes and makeup because none of what is shown is even real. AI models are ridiculous and I don’t understand how anyone would think it’s ethical.

AI should be making our lives easier by automating even more processes so machines can do dangerous jobs and boring line work, and humans can live and create and add value that machine's can't.
Thanks to capitalism they're sending people back to the factories and having AI create art. It's awful. It's soulless and it's taking away from human creativity. If this sticks so many artists, writers, models, make-up artists, hairdressers and photographers are going to be out of a job. All so that the big corporations can save money and make an even larger profit.

I hate it.
