\"Subscribers<\/div>\n

Subscribers to the iconic fashion and lifestyle magazine Vogue<\/em> were horrified<\/a> after spotting a double-page ad for the brand Guess, featuring a blonde model who didn’t look quite<\/em> right.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, a\u00a0small caption in the top left-hand corner revealed that the two images, which showed the fake model sporting two different looks, were “produced” by AI marketing company Seraphinne Vallora.<\/p>\n

Vogue<\/em> isn’t just another fashion rag; it’s a flagship brand of\u00a0Cond\u00e9 Nast’s publishing empire, as well as a legendary magazine with a history stretching back into the 1800s.<\/p>\n

As such, users on social media reacted with outrage, vowing to end their subscriptions after the affront.<\/p>\n

“The downfall of Vogue<\/em>,” one user tweeted<\/a>. “Their covers are trash. No creativity. and now using AI.”<\/p>\n

Others warned it could set a dangerous precedent: a dystopian race to the bottom as former titans of style and cultural innovation become more concerned about bottom lines than human creativity.<\/p>\n

“Vogue<\/em>, the biggest magazine in the world, allowed AI in their publication,” another user tweeted<\/a>, “which is going to set a precedent for all the other publications who quietly thought about it but were too scared of public backlash to do the same.”<\/p>\n

The incident highlights how the use of generative AI, particularly in creative fields such as fashion or art, has generated a huge amount of societal blowback, with critics saying the tech is already putting human creators out of work<\/a>\u00a0by replacing them with an inferior product \u2014 which, for good measure, was created by ingesting their work without permission.<\/p>\n

Others voiced concerns that using AI models could exacerbate the social issue of unrealistic beauty standards, in the most crass way possible.<\/p>\n

“Guess using AI models in Vogue<\/em> is creating impossible and irresponsible beauty standards,” Australian lawmaker David Shoebridge tweeted<\/a>. “These digitally ‘perfect’ bodies don\u2019t exist \u2014 but the mental health damage to young people will be real.”<\/p>\n

As the BBC<\/em> reports<\/a>, Seraphinne Vallora was approached by Guess’ cofounder, Paul Marciano, on Instagram.<\/p>\n

“We created ten draft models for him and he selected one brunette woman and one blonde that we went ahead and developed further,” 25-year-old Seraphinne Vallora cofounder Valentina Gonzalez told the broadcaster, claiming that it was a complicated process to generate the images.<\/p>\n

However, the\u00a0resulting work proved extremely controversial.<\/p>\n

“Either Guess is doing this to create a talking point and get free publicity or they want to cut costs and don’t think about the implications of that,” model Felicity Hayward told the BBC<\/em>, describing the use of AI models as “lazy and cheap.”<\/p>\n

Gonzalez defended her company’s work, arguing that “we don’t create unattainable looks” and that the Guess model “looks quite realistic.”<\/p>\n

But judging by the reactions online, that rationale is failing to land.<\/p>\n

“‘We didn’t have money to hire actual models, so now we’re helping other companies not hire models either!'” one Reddit user mocked<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Women are being held to unrealistic beauty standards by these magazines and now the beauty standards are going to be set by people who don’t even exist?!” another user wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Others warned that Vogue<\/em> is celebrating the death of human creativity by resorting to AI slop.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re so f*cked creatively as a society,” one Reddit user lamented<\/a>. “Why put any time into learning to draw, paint, photograph, write when AI can do it for you instantly, and you can be churning out content immediately. It\u2019s f*cking devastating.”<\/p>\n
