Save the condescension, this wasn't written by an 'IT type' or published on a tech journal.
All industries that got disrupted by more modern technology came up with arguments similar to the ones you brought up - bookstores vs amazon, brick-and-mortar stores vs ecommerce, face-to face meetings vs video calls, film vs digital, newspapers vs internet.
There will always be demand for high end fashion, but eventually it'll get relegated to a niche.
- MattGaiser 6y agoYes. The "human factor" was supposed to have saved all those industries. Nope.
- skwb 6y agoThe "human factor" is still why we don't have AI replacing doctors! There's a lot AI can and should be doing for improving worker efficiency in many industries, but ignoring "human factors" leads to 737 Max sort of screw up for deploying automation technologies.
- FearNotDaniel 6y agoAll those industries thought they could rely on their consumers, en masse, valuing the human factor over price and convenience. In the same way, Vogue may disappear as a print publication and with it the newsagents, printing presses, distribution networks... But readers consuming digital Vogue on a tablet still demand striking, original content, and the people who create that content will continue to value the human factors I have outlined above.

You only need to look around this very thread to see many indignant, condescending comments towards models by those who refuse to try to understand the value they bring to the creative process. It's much easier to condemn something than to try to wrap your head around a totally different social milieu.
