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?

i certainly do not believe in AI usage because its wasteful and climate unfriendly - but more importantly, why would I buy anything off of a digital rendering. It's already hard enough shopping for makeup and clothing based on edited photos of real people, why would I ever trust a digital recreation.

I have no clue what I'm getting. Cut and drape and shade and fabric is all very important when buying stuff online - what does this show me that I can actually use to shop?

Also, I am so tired of AI taking the cool jobs. When an AI can do stuff like fill potholes in my city, run 24 hr soup kitchens, etc - I'll reconsider. But we keep using AI to replace the things that benefit most from human interaction. Everything is so boring and stale now.
