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 Since the current AI is a fancy copy machine, how will Levi's ensure the models aren't just reinforcing stereotypes? If you don't have actual diversity on staff, how will you ensure accurate training data? Isn't it cheaper and better to just get actual diverse talent?
