This is exactly what NOT to use generative #AI for. Here they are avoiding giving PoC jobs - and there are models to be hired, to be sure - and instead accomplishing “power rangers diversity” w/ pie charts measures and algorithms rather than just humanity. Shameful and lazy Levi’s.

“Levi's will start using AI-generated people in order to increase the diversity among its models.”

@shanselman I think it's more a case of using diversity as a cover-up for not having to pay for models *at all* anymore. And model photographers. They are trying to have a double-edged sword - cutting wage cost, and getting 'diversity points' with the same stroke. The problems with double-edged swords is, they are very sharp, and you might fall into it. QED.

@localjoost @shanselman exactly. Any time a corporation has the chance to replace a paid employee with a machine, they'll do it.
