I’m not sure how much this matters and I’m not 100% sure this effect is real (it’s the sort of thing I could have just psy-op’d myself into believing). But, as an artist: there’s a difference between live models and pictures is that the live models force a subtle skill of… like, converting the 3D shape into a 2D one.
This is sort of like the difference between lifting free weights vs lifting weights at a machine. There’s a bunch of little subtle micromovements you have to make when free-weight-lifting whereas the machine isolates a given muscle. When you are looking at a real person, your head rocks back and forth, choosing exactly which 2D plane you are copying is subtly more difficult than when copying from a picture.
If you never intend to draw from life, then, I wouldn’t argue this matters that much. A lot of it might be a particular culture of art. But, I’m like 75% there’s a difference.
I was thinking that AI generated images would replace pictures of professional clothing models in catalogues and advertisements. Artist model is a different job, although artists might find their own skills becoming harder to monetize as well...

Ooh, I think that the weight-lifting analogy is very apt. Thanks for the insight.
