That's now how human nature works. Airbrushing models in magazines has been at epidemic levels for decades. Has that stopped people aspiring to look like models?
The starkest example of this is in the '99 film Fight Club,in a scene where the characters mock a Calvin Klein bus ad featuring an impossibly chiseled model. The man doing the mocking is none other than Brad Pitt whose abs are even better than the model's. Something tells me the characters envisioned by the author didn't look anything like him.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoBut it was always ostensibly a human behind the magazine ad. That was the fantasy. AI flooding the space would be like little bits of skin visibly peeling off all the magazine models, exposing a robot underneath. If that's ubiquitous, it breaks the spell. A break won't happen instantly, but the illusion no longer sustainable, outside the much smaller niche of people idolizing actual fantasy characters.
