Already happening, just read an article a few days ago where a company pretty much admitted they will be replacing live clothing models in magazines with digital ones. Most companies will have to build the infrastructure and then will start letting people go. Layoffs for the year usually happen around Christmas time and that is probably when a lot of companies will switch over to A.I.'s.

I saw that article!

Levi's is using AI generated models to "increase diversity"

(because obviously paying racially and physically diverse models a salary was a step too far for Levi's?!?)

Man, its so fucked.

We are actually awash in horror stories racking up in the tech industry about AI ... but whenever I try to post them here I just get piled on for daring to speak against the near religious zealot tier optimism about AI in here.

eg Check my post history for the post I popped in here saying AI might create jobs ... Mods removed it because they didn't think it would "generate discussion" lol.

You have to go to tech subs for more balance on the topic tbh

If there is anything that this horrible tragedy can teach us, it's that a male model's life is a precious, precious commodity.
