THE FUTURE OF MODELINGOne after another, they pose. Naked, stunning, flawless. They don’t sweat. They don’t move. They don’t exist.
These are models generated by artificial intelligence. And if you think this is just some aesthetic curiosity, you're already late.
For brands, marketers, and ad agencies, this is peak efficiency: no castings, no contracts, no complications.
No image rights to pay, no sessions to coordinate, no schedules, egos, or middlemen to deal with.
A junior with four hours of practice and access to an AI can generate a hundred images with a hundred different models—each one perfect, each one ready to sell whatever you need.
For a fraction of what it would cost to hire a single real model.
And it’s not just photos. We’re talking videos, ads, entire campaigns built on faces and bodies that don’t exist—but look just as real as the real ones.
Flawless skin, captivating eyes, a body that poses exactly how the client wants.
No retakes. No water breaks. No complaints.
All controlled. All optimized. All impersonal.
It’s not that real models will vanish overnight. But their space is shrinking.
Because if you can get what you want, whenever you want, and pay far less for it... the industry won’t think twice.
And for many professionals, that’s a real threat.

Meanwhile, on the subway.
TED TALKSTED Talks (short for Technology, Entertainment, Design) are those short but punchy presentations — usually under 18 minutes — where smart, interesting people share ideas they believe are “worth spreading.” And to be fair, a lot of them actually are.
They started back in the '80s as a half-tech, half-artsy kind of event, but really blew up in the 2000s when the talks were posted online for free. That’s when it all went viral. Now there’s TEDx — local versions popping up in cities everywhere, with speakers of all kinds: scientists, activists, artists, teachers, ex-cons, even kids.
The talks are super polished, both in content and delivery. Everything is packaged like it’s the idea that’ll change your life. Sometimes it is. Sometimes... not so much. But the format hooks you: good storytelling, clear messaging, and a closing punch that leaves you thinking (or reposting it to look deeper than you actually are).
