I'm with you on this one. I have no issues with AI being used for shit posting and memes, other than the ecological impact I guess.

That's just the model getting paid- which is good - but the pay rate isn't the same as the one for the shoot. It's the rate they get paid for the images to be used, something similar to royalties so to speak. It will greatly benefit a minority of popular models, and drastically reduce the job pool for new models.

The photographers are getting totally screwed though, as well as the make up artist and anyone else involved in a shoot.

I didn't know the topical ones acted that way. I thought they were more like a repellent. The oral ones, in my experience, are infallible. Give a pill to a flea infested cat and in thirty minutes by the clock you'll start seeing the fleas jump out like they're having a seizure. The cat will scratch for some twenty minutes or so. And that's it. The tricky part is getting the cat to take the pill.

I agree with you in sentiment, but unlike you, I DO believe AI can easily get your child slave work shirt to fit better on the non existent model made out of an amalgamation of all your previous photoshoots plus stolen data.

It keeps getting more and more accurate every day.

Even if it doesn't fit great straight out of the generator, you already have a Photoshop touch up artist who will fix that and any extra fingers. It works out. H&M may have to pay some extra 20% to the Photoshop designer in India, but will spare themselves paying a photographer and a model by 100%. Plus any other people in charge of recruiting models and organizing shoots now can get their hours reduced too.

I really really hope things end up like you say they will. Nothing would make me happier than seeing these idiots hitting a wall.

You bet it will mean less work, what have we been yelling about for the past couple of years?

You mean oral, right? Oral pills against fleas and ticks poison the parasites through the blood they consume.

Headlines for the past couple of weeks have been absolutely deranged.
