She has long blonde hair, blue eyes and curves, but the stunning model on the magazine cover was generated by artificial intelligence. While men have designed many AI influencers, Gina was created by a woman who is a Playboy model - and she made the persona based on her own proportions and style. However, her AI model is 28, and she is 52. 'The funny thing is the men love it,' the creator, also named Gina, told DailyMail.com. 'The AI models are glamorous, beautiful and desirable, like Playboy models of the 90s.

Generative models capable of automatically producing paragraphs of text or digital art are becoming increasingly accessible. People are using them to write fantasy novels, marketing copy, and to create memes and magazine covers. Content automatically created by software is poised to flood the internet for better or worse as AI technology is commercialized. Take Cosmopolitan's recent and "world's first artificially intelligent magazine cover," for instance: the image of a giant astronaut walking on the surface of a planet against a dark sky splattered with what looks like stars and gas as produced by OpenAI's DALL-E 2 model. Karen Cheng, a creative director, described trying various text prompts to guide DALL-E 2 in producing the perfect picture.

Last month, a group of Cosmopolitan editors, alongside digital artist Karen X. Cheng and members of artificial intelligence research lab OpenAI, created the first-ever magazine cover designed by artificial intelligence. This is the first-ever magazine cover generated using DALLE-2. Words I never thought I'd be saying? An image I generated is the cover of @cosmopolitan for their first ever AI-generated magazine cover #dalle #dalle2 pic.twitter.com/x2oqiNMRVx Recently, OpenAI's GPT-3 also published a research thesis on itself.

The group, composed of editors from Cosmopolitan, members of artificial-intelligence research lab OpenAI, and a digital artist--Karen X. Cheng, the first "real-world" person granted access to the computer system they're all using--are working together, with this system, to try to create the world's first magazine cover designed by artificial intelligence. Sure, there have been other stabs. AI has been around since the 1950s, and many publications have experimented with AI-created images as the technology has lurched and leaped forward over the past 70 years. Just last week, The Economist used an AI bot to generate an image for its report on the state of AI technology and featured that image as an inset on its cover. This Cosmo cover is the first attempt to go the whole nine yards. "It looks like Mary Poppins," says Mallory Roynon, creative director of Cosmopolitan, who appears unruffled by the fact that she's directing an algorithm to assist with one of the more important functions of her job.

If you happen to take a stroll through building 1472 Broadway, New York, you might stumble across your reflection in a mirror. Given the fact that this is H & M's flagship store in Times Square, this hardly seems like an incident worth describing. For starters, you can talk to it – and it'll talk back. Ask it to take a selfie, for example, and it will happily oblige, capturing your graceful pose before immortalizing your beauty on the front cover of a virtual fashion magazine. You can, of course, choose to share your new-found modelling profession with the world, by sending your personalized cover out across social media.

Revealing its naked ambition to motor into the digital fast lane, Swedish fast-fashion supergroup H&M has opened both barrels on the smart mirror phenomenon by launching a voice activated mirror in its Times Square, New York flagship. Using dulcet-toned conversation-led tech - no touch-screens, no buttons, no typing - it encompasses selfies, styling recommendations and also a relatively smooth route to e-commerce. Crucially, it's also underscored by a smart new attitude to user experience (UX) design, which views the mirror as a space to kick-start relations, not a personal confidante making private connections. Created in tandem with Microsoft and two Stockholm-based agencies Ombori - a specialist in UX Design and digital signage experts Visual Art, the mirror is quietly'sleeping' until facial detection technology (strictly speaking not facial recognition tech - the concept errs on the side of anonymity) senses someone has been looking at it for long enough to be reasonably engaged and then awakens the fixture. Its feminine-sounding superintendent invites people to take a selfie, giving them a countdown to prepare, which then appears on screen in the form of several magazine covers.

"Alexa, what are you wearing?" "Alexa, are you horny?" "Alexa, how much do you weigh?" Alexa -- Amazon's freestanding virtual assistant -- doesn't wear or own any clothes, she can't (physically) feel horny, and she doesn't weigh a single pound. Nevertheless, some people find it normal, and even funny, to pose questions like the above (and other Easter Eggs) to the popular voice-controlled helper. Would we be asking a virtual assistant the same questions if the voice were male? All are female, and all elicit an image of an assistant who is not just a woman, but a woman people can boss around, flirt with, and act inappropriately towards. Compound that with portrayals in the media -- like this 2015 magazine cover showing female robots sitting at typewriters -- and it all starts to feel like a big step backwards rather than one towards the future.
