That’s what I thought when I saw the article this morning, Firenze. I also noted that the client chose two models; perfect white women, one blonde, one brunette, and that the agency rejects a need for diverse skin tones due to lack of likes. I am amazed by their statement that the technology isn’t advanced enough to do diverse bodies, I would presume it will produce what they ask it to produce.

A ventriloquist's dummy's reaction to that would be "Utter gollocks!" (I'd be swearier in Hell). And I say that as someone who'd have to hide in a cave to be much whiter.

Absolutely. If I can put in 'phantom nun playing bagpipes on phantom bicycle' I'm bloody sure it could produce 'plus size woman in haute couture'.
Is there any conceptual difference, though, between using a model generated by AI and using a mannekin, something that has been around for generations?
'Seraphinne Vallora' if we can call her that, looks like a more realistic version of a mannekin than a genuine human, made as a waxwork rather than the more conventional mannekin. Several of the other samples of her further down the page look more like Barbie dolls than people.
The animated doll/dummy is a well-kent horror trope. Viewed as illustrations they are tolerable - the hair in particular looks very drawn - but presented as real women they are subtly unnerving.

Nothing looks right about them. The skin looks like the work of an undertaker's cosmetician.
