This looks like the generic "people" artwork you see in so many places.
I think that's the goal

#12This looks like the generic "people" artwork you see in so many places.
I think that's exactly the point.

#13Something's fascinating to me. Clearly there's a lot of diversity. But there also isn't. I don't associate with any of it. Not because I'm a green space monster. But where's the potbellied, grizzled 55 year old welder? Or the "I hate kale, more bacon please" mother of three? Everyone looks so... Chic and young and modern and... Silicon Valley.
Is it the art style? Is that the point? Is that what the robotic "HUMAAAAN" is teasing? That these aren't anything like real humans?

#14where are the white humans? and the yellow humans? and the jet black humans?
I feel like the 1 skin tone is meant to be provocative, possibly be a deliberate troll, maybe start a discussion.
does the author wish to weigh in?
as a white human I feel excluded. maybe I'm attaching too much importance to skin tone as a part of identity. I think partly that's in our brains, partly it's emphasised by the media to divide us and create outrage, for power and engagement.

#15This is great, and I really, really love the inclusive-by-default approach.
> inclusive-by-default Except for people with pale skin... I guess.
All the skin tones are mid-brown, there is nothing darker and nothing lighter, though this would be an easy thing to change when using the library. Interesting how you single out pale skin.

#16Is it possible to add beard to the drawings? Is there an online version that is posible to use without installing the library in my machine?

It's advertart. There's a depth of absolute cynicism in it that is well represented by the lack of faces - and of any diversity outside of the superficial. Pose-able lies, for use by liars, to sell bullshit for companies that don't care.

They're marketing materials. They often don't represent everyone, but rather a specific set of customer demographics.

There's a darker woman on the landing page and in the animated section there's a paler figure and couple darker.
