Creepy AI models on Everlane website?

[Anonymous]

Am I imagining it or do these models look super creepy, like AI generated? It's not just on this page, all their pages look like this.

Their necks are so long.

Ack, OP. That was so creepy! I knew this was possible, but I hadn't seen this before. Are other places doing this? Yikes.

They’re not AI, those are real models.

The reason it looks creepy is that it looks like they used one photo of each model and digitally added in the different clothing. Companies often do this with different colors of the same article of clothing - for example, the model may wear the red shirt at the photo shoot, then they’re edit the photo to have her in both the blue shirt and pink shirt. It’s less common to change the entire outfit to something different, but it looks like that’s what they did here, along with slight digital alterations (such as moving a couple strands of hair).

They’re all also in the same pose, which is a very unflattering and strange pose to use. Usually you want more movement and variety.

Oh interesting, thanks for the explanation! Is this your line of work?

Apparently, they have an ethnicity slider button that they just move up or down to make the models representative. Other than that they all look like the same expressionless robot.

They should add a size slider button as well none of them look healthy.

That would be nice. If we are going to use models, I would love to be able to see a model of my weight and height wearing the clothes.

Super creepy! It's hard to look at the clothes.

I’m surprised retailers haven’t come up with a method for using your phone’s camera to create a 3D model from doing a 360 degree spin in front of a camera. Then you add in your height/weight and it can suggest styles/colors/sizes, etc and let you see them on you before purchasing. The technology is all there.

A.I. could easily be used to do this. It's already used for facial recognition in many places.
