My arch enemy; tiny low res thumbnails strikes again!

Although there is one higher res image available, which is better than usual. Of course it's high enough res to show that there's visible artifacting. But this is pretty impressive.

I wonder if an easy hack would be to train a second separate neural network to clean up the kind of artifacting that you get out of the first neural network...

would 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.

This 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.

That would be great. You don't need a floor length mirror and changing rooms if you can just have your rendered body and face to exchange clothes on. Need to get accurate measurements for the right dimensions though.
