No, they’ll end themselves trying to achieve the unachievable new look. Men will think there are perfect goddesses around every corner and sales of dolls will skyrocket. Great, “they” will have ended all mankind.

He is alive or was in Chicago!

“On November 22, 1987, Chicago experienced a mysterious event known as the Max Headroom broadcast signal intrusion. During two separate local news broadcasts, the station’s signal was hijacked by a person in a Max Headroom mask, creating a pirate broadcast that disrupted regular programming. The incident remains unsolved.”

At that time, I lived within sight of that transmitter; it was a hot topic.

From the article title: Your favorite model? Thanks to AI, they might not be real

Long before AI, the models weren't real anyway: makeup, dyed hair, wigs, weaves, spray tans, liposuction, silicone implants, prosthetics, colored contact lenses, lip filler, plastic surgery, airbrushing, social media filters, etc.

One thing I can’t stand is the sound of my own voice.

That's pretty normal. You overcome it by listening to recordings of yourself over and over. Same for pictures and video of yourself.

now all those women won’t have to starve themselves and get hooked on heroin.

Perhaps but the Sodomites in the fashion industry will still insist on similarly abnormal looking female AI models

This was a field I never thought about AI taking over, but it makes PERFECT sense to do it. In print advertising the model provides very little other than just basic beauty. This can be duplicated by AI.

AI can’t yet walk the runway, but I can see the print advertising market being totally taken over.

—”Boobs haven’t been real on models for a long time.”

My wife and most women know ALL about it!

They acquire this information from their hair salons, Pilates classes, and some of their clubs...

They can detect it on sight with high accuracy.

Also, there may be a database on those who chose reduction work.

There's already AI OnlyFans accounts.

I truly believe OnlyFans is a vast money-laundering enterprise for various international terrorists and criminals so fake AI butthole pics would be a logical component of this.

AI voiceover without a human editor, and with all that money the Pope has?

Sad.

FTA: “Those launches were also met with criticism, with some seeing the AI creation of a model — especially a person of color — as a way for companies to profit from the appearance of diversity without having to invest in it ...”

I have always felt that criticisms of internal operations or policies from sources outside a company should be responded to with a “Thank you for your interest and comments. We will give it the consideration that we feel it deserves.”

IOW: F/O peasant.

In real life big companies generally don’t give a tinkers damn what the public says. Just this week Ford announced that their new vehicles would include even more technology that, allegedly will increase the driving experience and add to safety. This of course will make vehicles more complex, more expensive, and less likely to be repairable by the owner. All this in the face of increasingly growing popular opinion that want less complexity, less cost, and the ability to make basic maintenance.

We use AI models for our online business. Frankly, I try and create aged, slightly overweight and almost plain looking male and female models to wear our .ine of hand dyed clothing. Those I do have pictures of our customers wearing our stuff, but I only asked if I could use their image on our website, not in advertising. I remember my First Amendement Law class in College some 50 years ago and advertising using someone’s image without permission is a non-no.

I don’t have to worry with AI. I can create backgrounds that are realisitic like at a grocery store, park, etc. I have one guy wearing one of our shirts in front of of a 2960s VW Bus and he is mature, a little grizzled , etc, and had more than one lady want to get to know him even better. Had to say he was married. Ha! But I got some shirt sales out of that image.

for some cool stuff go to youtube and enter Retro-Future for fantastic models and art —even the music is AI generated. How cool is that/

It’s a tool at least at this level.
