I’m on the losing end of a discussion about whether Gucci (or Celine) ads in a fashion magazine show an AI, a manikin, or a put-together model who looks like a male. How can I ascertain which is true and/or of course a photo of a real live person? If you cannot help me, what do you think? I can’t find a working e-mail address to get through to someone about this. Total costume may be a bargain for someone for $5,310.00.
Another outfit for the 1%: Jacket $3,980.
Jumpsuit 3,700.
Shirt: 850.
___________
Total ensemble: $7,430.
If it’s not a real person are they trying to avoid a model’s fee? Talk to me.

Wow. I have no idea at all on earth, other than trying a Google photo search to see if there’s an original out there? I’ve only done that once, with a spider photo. Never did find one for the little thing, but at least I knew it was a real spider because I took the picture of it on a plant in a nature reserve. I wish I could help you!

What is your automatic gut reaction? I’m asking because I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t see it as human and I’m trying to figure out what’s the difference between me and many others.
