I think this confusion is proving the pointlessness of mags like Vogue and models in general. Why do models exist? They certainly weren't there to impose their overly high unrealistic body standards for women.

Especially with all of the airbrushing and photoshopping going on. Have you seen videos of digital editors working off of the source material? They fuck around with a LOT of the details, even to the point of changing arm/leg length. It doesn't seem like much of a leap to go to AI at this point. Even if they didn't, they would just use AI tools within Photoshop to almost do the same thing.

Models only exist for advertising. That's it. I don't understand why we would treat advertisers as some protected class. This is just the inevitable fate of an already pointless industry.
