I find this as good news. People aren’t willing to accept below a certain standard, which, admittedly is lower than mine, but the standard is still there. This reaction is causing me to regain some faith in humanity.

I am positively surprised people noticed it is AI. I mean, I only see those example images in the article, they didn’t trigger any red flags for me in particular. But maybe there’s more in the actual magazine that does stand out.

You can’t really notice but the tiny caption credits AI as the model
p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
It’s noticed as AI because the company told the fans it’s AI.
If they did a good enough job with the filtering and inpainting and didn’t say anything, they probably would have gotten away with it for a period of time.

Now Vogue, and next only fans models. Loool
bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 3 weeks ago
As if there aren’t already thousands of AI OF models. Most probably operated by the same guy.
roserose56@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Indeed! But it’s not only the AI models, but real model’s managed by other people or AI.

change to faux.

I know quite a few fashion brands are quietly switching to AI. As in scrapping whole departments of people who deal with production. Waiting for the push back from consumers but something makes me think this is just going to be the new normal for a while. It’s looking pretty grim for anyone working in the industry.

I feel like you aren’t thinking about the poor shareholders :^(
SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
Oh look you gave it a little nose.
Decq@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
And none of these magazines or whatever will ever lower their price. Major savings, but only for our shareholders!

Let’s be honest, having your picture taken wasn’t exactly a high skill job. These people could be doing better things for society.

I remember the same thing when they replaced they dark room, light tables, plate makers, and eventually the printers and went digital. They said the same thing back then. I was one of the last ink and print and manual design and hand drawn artist left in our company.
But, oh well. Things change. This is what computers do.
From what I gather during the discussion about Vogue, is people are realizing that AI isn’t the problem, it is the fact that there aren’t even any places that actually sell anything in person anymore. It either cheap walmart/target garbage, or you have to try things on via delivery. Vogue going AI means those patterns, textures, and designs don’t even really exist. So whats to even try on anymore?

Ai generated or photoshopped to shit - not really a difference, imho
Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
At least with photoshopped models, some people are getting paid. :(

Lol, I thought it looked like Denise Richards

I think this confusion is proving the pointlessness of mags like Vogue and models in general. Why do models exist? They certainly weren’t there to impose their overly high unrealistic body standards for women.
Especially with all of the airbrushing and photoshopping going on. Have you seen videos of digital editors working off of the source material? They fuck around with a LOT of the details, even to the point of changing arm/leg length. It doesn’t seem like much of a leap to go to AI at this point. Even if they didn’t, they would just use AI tools within Photoshop to almost do the same thing.
Models only exist for advertising. That’s it. I don’t understand why we would treat advertisers as some protected class. This is just the inevitable fate of an already pointless industry.

I thought it looked like David Hasselhoff photoshopped to be a woman.

Thank you! That’s exactly who I was thinking of, but couldn’t place it.

This article reads like it was generated by AI.
FauxLiving@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s authentic human slop.
They’re essentially describing Twitter drama as if it were news. How many people canceled (doesn’t say)? Has Vogue made a statement (no idea)?
It’s not a story, it’s a person describing what they were scrolling while they were on the toilet as if it were news.

Yea, but you read it 👀
Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I am really surprised by this… I’m just stunned… I mean, who knew Vogue even still existed, much less still had subscribers?

I want to see REAL artificial women not FAKE ones!!!
anarchy79@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Who the fuck reads Vogue?
Pretty people in pretty dresses? Lowest common denominator capitalist slop for literally the dumbest people in society.
Why would they even care?
MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
I feel like the people using the AI prompts to create the models are doing harder work than the actual models.
Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Why did Vogue credit ai on the page. Literally no one would know if they didn’t. Are they stupid?
MisterCurtis@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Taking unrealistic body image literally.
