Reply to comment by boat-dog in Levi's to Use AI-Generated Models to 'Increase Diversity' by SnoozeDoggyDog

I suspect companies are going to get significant pushback on things like this and boycotting companies that shift away from human workers to AI is going to be a big social issue over the next few years.

People don't even boycott companies that use slave labor in other countries. I doubt anyone will be boycotting this.

At the end people will buy what's cheaper. Automation is unstoppable on all fronts because of competition.

Interesting point. But sounds like it’ll lead to stunted progress

I don't see this particular situation being related to AI progress at all. Levi's reducing their operating costs by replacing models is just going to make them more corporate profits.
