This is a very great AI that could be put to great use in the right hands, mostly at fitness centers and weight loss programs. A great motivator for those that could work for their ideal body type. Although it could easily be abused with people getting catfished online, I think the positives far outweigh the negatives. I remember when this type of body morphing could only be done with someone with advanced expeirence on Adobe Photoshop. Now its been reduced to sliders and its all automatic. Simply amazing.

My guess is that this will more popularly be used online or in metaverse like facial make up is used in real life, i.e., not as a motivator for exercising but just to put on a virtual body shape.

And see the irony -- The media and advertising industry is sometimes manipulating the real photos in similar ways [1], resulting partially an artificial social perception of what's a beautiful body.
