The job of a stylist will largely be automated away with AI. There will be a few needed to keep training the machines but it’s a career path akin to the horse and buggy maker.
- cschmidt 6y agoActually Stitchfix is an interesting example of “human in the loop” AI. The AI makes recommendations to the stylist, who assembles outfits. Presumably the stylist is still adding value or they wouldn’t have them.

- dlkf 6y agoI'm not convinced of this. We could easily have used software to procedurally generate outfits from a selection of components since the 1980s. Why hasn't this already happened?
- greedo 6y agoThe same reason that Jobs (and Ive) were the arbiters of what Apple shipped for many years; you can't program taste or style.
