Re: AI tech generates entire bodies of people who don't exist
#12would this mean that outside of runway models, you wouldn't need models to showcase your clothing anymore since you can just "wrap" your clothes over these AI humans?
Exactly. If you're Gap and have a lineup with thousands of articles of clothing, why would you go through the trouble of procuring models? You have to deal with modeling agencies, photographers, set managers, etc... When the AI gets good enough, it will be even better than the alternative. It will serve ads showing only your body type. Maybe the models will even have....your face.
It could lead to more than just putting casual models out of work. Fewer stylists and designers would be needed.
Let the AI generate the color patterns (sticking with Gap as an example, it might retain their chosen /size as constraints) and boom, on demand styling

I could see A/B testing with minor variations in style and appearance too, optimizing for CTR.

#14This is useful to generate models for clothing shop, or new fashion models. More general: I'm not surprised to see some day, one AI bot could automatically register a Twitter account, and have "real" conversations there. One day, i might retweet their tweets, too.
Given how many people build AI bots for on twitter, you've very likely already done this.

#15One wonders if the people whose photos were used to build this system were compensated appropriately for their contribution. Something tells me that royalties were not discussed.
Uncompensated, or grossly under-compensated, use of personal data for AI systems is a serious issue that one no one seems to want to address.

I think that every time I see these AI people generators. Do they release their training sets of images, or is there even a way to check?

#17I always wonder about their use as movie extras. Does anyone here know what's happening in the realm of movie-making? I had friends who did that as a lark, but there were pay minimums, so I imagine it's a substantial expense to studios.
Many crowd scenes are full CGI (can't tell at a distance) or composites of many shots of smaller crowds stitched together.

#18I'll bet one could use GANs now to generate high res textures for 3D models. Say for video games or other 3D renders. In various styles too.
BRB next startup idea.

Some day more and more movies will have virtual actors, possibly licensing physical/voice tracts from known stars of the past. I would expect also virtual music bands to be created as such.

#20On the importance of language: generating "entire bodies" is a different class of problem then generating images of bodies
