From all the jobs that will disappear, the jobs of models replaced by AI is probably the ones I care the least.

Two points:

Companies can more easily manipulate us with marketing if they can just create the perfect model.
The whole push towards diversity in advertising, particularly in body size and shape, is going to go out the window. Many people will no longer see themselves represented, which could make self esteem go down and the subsequent consequences of that.

I could see point #2 going either way... it could actually be a good thing. If no one trusts images, then why would anyone assume they are their BMI?

An influencer that is always just slightly better than you, like you in every other way, but slightly better, slightly more aspirational. Look at what you could achieve if you tried just a little bit more, worked a little bit harder, spent a little bit more money and always just out of reach, but targeted specifically at you. Fuck no, that's horrific.
