Comment on AI-created “virtual influencers” are stealing business from humans

  Do you realize artistic photography uses models too? I mentioned it right below in this discussion.

  Consider that maybe you associate modeling with advertisements because our society is more driven by marketing than culture.

    actually, no. It’s a line from the movie Mia… about a model… and i, an artist, have given it thought prior to this discussion…
    photography IS an art, yep… models posing isn’t… it can be kinda artistic, i suppose… there’s an expression in it… but it can be artistic without being an artform.
    like making a wood dresser, it’s more of craftsmanship than an art (but carpentry cooooould be used in art, such as wooden sculpture…)
    and, yes, influencers coooould be taking artistic pictures of themselves, but that’s not what influencer really means.
    at any rate, i hope they all die painful deaths… and it’s about the only artsy thing i feel ok with AI replacing.
    And if you consider beauty filters, AI replaced influencers a long time ago…

      Arts and crafts is a whole another discussion, and some say this distinction is only made to demean artisans when compared to academic artists. Similarly, if photography is art, and physical expression such as dance is art, I don’t see why modeling wouldn’t be art.

      Influencers aren’t all Logan Paul either. Would someone who offers useful recommendations or makes good comedy skits deserve to die either? Seems extreme. This whole thread seems way too hateful of the idea.
