A Spanish agency became so sick of models and influencers that they created their own with AI — and she’s raking in up to $11,000 a month::Founder Rubén Cruz said AI model Aitana was so convincing that a famous Latin actor asked her on a date.

    1. This is about replacing humans with machines and making more profit. The framing around difficult to work with models is a distraction. The AI problem was always a capitalism problem. And here it is in full swing. Buckle up and brush up on your Ludditism people!
    2. As with AI and shopped imagery and porn, the unrealistic beauty standards problem is about to get ridiculous. There may be a moment coming not too far off where beauty is just not a human thing anymore. Which may be catastrophic (like people can’t have sex with each other anymore) or oddly liberating.

      The unrealistic beauty standards are already ridiculous. Several years ago there was a vid showing how they changed a model’s photo session. Even the model wasn’t as perfect as her pictures, it was staggering.

      Being able to do it in video, well, that’s old hat now too. Just look at movies.

      It’ll just be faster with less manual effort with AI, with the same unrealistic results.

      What’s more concerning to me is how much easier it’ll be for media to lie, er, misrepresent situations visually.

        Other modeling companies could use the same AI model, and no one could sue because you can’t copyright it!

          Where would they get the same data? They could try to create a similar looking model, but it wouldn’t be the same one.

          Why other modelling company? The customer of the modelling company can just do it themselves and completely make modelling companies irrelevant.

      This is about replacing humans with machines

      You do realize this is a good thing, right?

      It’s a sign of how much capitalism is ingrained into peoples minds that people see machines replacing humans as a bad thing. The point of life is not working. As humans we need certain tasks done to be able to live a comfortable life, food needs to be produced, houses built, etc. But doing these tasks is just a means to an end, they aren’t the goal. Jobs aren’t a good thing, they are a necessary evil. As humans we should strive to eliminate all jobs.
