Add models to the list of professions losing jobs to AI. Movie extras have been going away for some time in large crowd shots (though till now, not strictly AI). Anything visual is going to need less humans both creating and posing.

Large crowds haven’t been a thing for probably three decades. It’s not just the cost of extras, it’s the logistics of closing off areas for a large crowd.

I’ll be curious with the modeling if there’s any pushback. They’ll need to have someone model the clothes and then replace that person. I would guess many models wouldn’t be wouldn’t like being replaced in images they could otherwise be using for a portfolio. But, as with everything, there will be someone willing

No need just use a maniquine.

It would take a lot more work to use a mannequin than to use a real person, but it could be an option.

Maybe a bit more work but a solid chunk less money. Plus the mannequin can model 24/7 365

Not a lot more... A lot less. You have to hire each person, woth this, u need one mannequin, then you can get an infinite amount of different people

But you would need to dress and pose the mannequin, which isn’t going to be the easiest job. I would also guess that the model is the cheapest part of a photo shoot in most instances; photographers and studios are relatively expensive.

We aren't far away from just taking a photo of a shirt, and having generative image generators putting the shirt onto any model you want.

Not at all. My wife is a pattern maker. At her job they use a software that takes a pattern renders a 3D avatar, lays the pattern on it, sews the clothes, and allows the her to assess the fit and tweak the garment. Her company has gone from 4-5 fittings for a garment to 1 and that's just to get final tweaks and often results in no changes.

The company bought the software in 2019. There is zero reason to put real clothes on a real manikin.

Depends on the situation and the distance of the scene. In Gone With The Wind one of the huge injured battlefield scenes they had like 2 or 3 dummies per live person, and that person would secretly pull a couple of ropes to create movement in the dummies next to them. Seen from a distance it all looked quite real.

Right, but that was from before computers even. From at least the early 90s they would at most film a small cluster of people and replicate them throughout the scene.

You don't need a model, you just need 'someone'. Or a dummy.

Can we hope that "influencers" will go away too? Oh crap, maybe the AI influencer will be TOO OP!?

Influencers a thing because they'll show you what the dress actually looks like in person on an actual human. Many cheap stores on Amazon don't hire models and just photoshop the clothes onto someone. The quality and fit can be a hit or miss.

This sort of thing might only mean more business for them. Until we collect enough data and make the AI look at a shop's render and then show you a realistic photo of what the dress will look like.

I can’t imagine actors/actresses have much longer before being replaced.

Let's hope so, I've been cheated for over $1000 on real onlyfans, it's nothing but scammers there :(

90% of magazine and adds are photoshopped. Normal people already don’t believe that ads they’re seeing. imagine if everyone had an avatar and every clothing ad would be a image of you wearing the clothes instead of an ai model . It would be easier to buy things. Selective marketing , metaverse thing ect
