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.”

"Mannequins are taking jobs away from models!" 🤦

Perhaps this is *precisely* how it should be done -- at least half of it.

If modelling as a job or career is defined by maintaining one's appearance within tolerances of another's standard of beauty, AI poisoning the market *could* introduce a significant perceptional shift of the odds of becoming a model, reducing the career pursuit and some of the societal nonsense that comes with it.

Stop paying *anyone* to look like something -- *including* "none of the above."
