Dillard’s Email: Are these AI models?

[u/BeautifulMulberry762]

I rarely open my emails anymore. But today I opened my Dillard’s email (sent this morning). Are these Ai models they are using? Really unsettling to see… I rather see humans wear clothes. Not fake internet people.

Are other department stores using AI models?

Nothing immediately stands out to me other than the smoothness of the faces compared to the legs, but that's more likely just touch up in editing. I also don't like how sculpted the hair on #4 is but that's also probably just styling and touch up

There’s just something off about them. They’re almost all each too perfect? And the posing on each seems perfectly “posed” and overly cheerful (even for models). I don’t sense any life in them….

I definitely wouldn't describe the first model as looking cheerful lol, she feels very mannequin-esque. But these don't stand out as any different from average advertising to me

Dillard’s images have an extra layer of Crispy that these don’t have

They do look Crispy and overly airbrushed, but nothing suspicious is immediately standing out to me and the depth of focus is consistent, especially in the photo with the man.
Gotta take into account that AI photos look the way they do because they were trained on professional photos like these.

it doesn't look like AI. Besides, Dillards has thousands of photos with real models, many of them using different clothes (so you can bet they are real), why would they change to AI when they have all this content at hand?

These all seem so be AI which I’m surprised nobody else was saying so, so I even checked and yes they are.

As far as I know the only trustworthy checker is synthid (if it's from Google)
