Vogue has started using AI models — what does it mean for beauty standards?
'Fashion is supposed to be art.'
A recent viral video by creator @mauriciopogna has ignited discussion within the fashion community regarding the increasing integration of artificial intelligence. The video, titled "Me when I heard that they used AI models in VOGUE," expresses a critical stance on the use of AI-generated models in high-profile publications. The creator's video features a montage of various fashion-related visuals, contrasting what appears to be AI-generated imagery with traditional fashion sketches, iconic runway moments, and photos of renowned models and designers. On-screen text throughout the video emphasizes the irreplaceable value of human art, style, expression, and cinematography. The video's central argument, as conveyed by the creator, is that "AI can destroy all the industry. Without the human art, don’t exist style, expression, cinematography or anything that transforms this world less empty." This sentiment resonates with many who fear that AI could dilute the authenticity and human element of creative fields. The video has garnered significant attention, prompting a wider conversation about the future of human talent versus artificial intelligence in the evolving landscape of the fashion world.
