I agree with you in sentiment, but unlike you, I DO believe AI can easily get your child slave work shirt to fit better on the non existent model made out of an amalgamation of all your previous photoshoots plus stolen data.
It keeps getting more and more accurate every day.
Even if it doesn’t fit great straight out of the generator, you already have a Photoshop touch up artist who will fix that and any extra fingers. It works out. H&M may have to pay some extra 20% to the Photoshop designer in India, but will spare themselves paying a photographer and a model by 100%. Plus any other people in charge of recruiting models and organizing shoots now can get their hours reduced too.
I really really hope things end up like you say they will. Nothing would make me happier than seeing these idiots hitting a wall.
H&M claims in the article that they’d still pay the models prevailing wages to use their likenesses without them having to do anything, which on the surface sounds like a good deal. Further recruitment seems unnecessary when you have a stable of 30 digital twins who will never age.
And sure, a Photoshop user making slave wages can fix whatever issues the “AI” spits out up to a certain point. That’s not to say it will look as … uh … natural as airbrushed, toned pics.
That’s just the model getting paid- which is good - but the pay rate isn’t the same as the one for the shoot. It’s the rate they get paid for the images to be used, something similar to royalties so to speak. It will greatly benefit a minority of popular models, and drastically reduce the job pool for new models.
The photographers are getting totally screwed though, as well as the make up artist and anyone else involved in a shoot.

I mean, that was the central thesis of my original response.
