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.”
