Vogue readers horrified by use of ‘disturbing' AI models in Guess advert
Vogue readers have been left disturbed by the use of an AI model in the prestigious fashion magazine's August issue. The double-page advert, which features a blonde model wearing two different outfits across separate pages, was taken out by the label Guess and 'produced' by AI marketing Seraphinne Vallora. In one photo, the model sits with a cup of coffee in a light blue floral playsuit. In another, the AI figure leans against a blue wall in a black and white chevron print dress, clutching a matching Guess bag. Readers were alerted to the fact the model was AI generated through a fine print label that reads: 'Seraphinne Vallora on AI'. Seraphinne Vallora is an agency that designs 'editorial level AI-driven marketing campaigns and cinematic videos'. Its work has also been featured in Harper's Bazaar and Elle. 'That's disturbing. This is the direction AI should not be going in... wow,' one person wrote in response to the images of the AI model on X/Twitter. 'Great. The new beauty standard will be, literally, unobtainable because it's not real,' another social media user remarked. Others were more optimistic about the use of AI: 'The future is here. Takes less time and much cheaper to make,' one supporter wrote. The Independent has contacted Vogue, Guess and Seraphinne Vallora for comment. Plus size model Felicity Hayward, who has been in the fashion industry for over a decade, told the BBC that using AI models in campaigns 'feels lazy and cheap'. Hayward said Vogue's decision to include the advert was 'very disheartening and quite scary', adding she worried the practice could undermine years of work towards more diversity in the fashion industry. The controversy comes after OpenAI and Vogue's publisher Condé Nast announced a multi-year partnership that allows content from the magazine to appear in ChatGPT search results. Condé Nast's CEO, Roger Lynch, said in an email reported by the New York Times that it was 'crucial' for the publisher to 'meet audiences where they are and embrace new technologies'.

5 things to know for July 28: Gaza, Tariffs, Walmart attack, Missing mom and child, Pets
A federal judge has dismissed a Trump administration lawsuit against Chicago's 'sanctuary' laws. The suit claimed that these local statutes 'thwart' federal efforts to enforce immigration laws. However, Judge Lindsay Jenkins said the US lacked standing to sue. Similar suits have been filed against Los Angeles, New York City, Denver and four cities in New Jersey. Here's what else you need to know to get up to speed and on with your day. An internal US government review found no evidence of widespread theft by Hamas of US-funded humanitarian aid in Gaza. The analysis, conducted by the US Agency for International Development, contradicts the State Department's claims that were used to justify backing the Gaza Humanitarian Fund, a controversial organization that took over aid distribution in the enclave. According to the Palestinian Health Ministry and the UN, more than 1,000 people have been killed by Israeli forces as they sought aid, with 60% killed while trying to reach GHF sites. Thousands of Palestinians are suffering from malnutrition and more than a dozen people starved to death last week amid Israel's humanitarian blockade. Even doctors and nurses are collapsing from hunger and exhaustion as they try to administer help. The US and the European Union have managed to avoid an economically crippling trade war. President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen shook hands in Scotland on Sunday after agreeing on the framework for a trade deal between two of the world's biggest economies. The agreement sets a 15% tariff on most European goods entering the US, which is higher than the 10% tariff Trump put in place on April 2 and significantly higher than the average of around 1.2% from before Trump's presidency. Yet it's lower than the 50% tariff Trump threatened in May when trade talks were stymied. Trump backed off that threat after speaking with von der Leyen, who called him to say the EU would commit to moving 'swiftly and decisively.' Police in Grand Traverse, Michigan, are praising bystanders who cornered the suspect in a violent stabbing attack. Bradford James Gille, 42, entered a Walmart on Saturday afternoon, waited inside for 35 minutes, then allegedly began stabbing random strangers with a foldable knife, authorities said. As the suspect fled into the parking lot, several bystanders gave chase, including an unarmed former Marine named Matt Kolakowski and his brother-in-law, Chris O'Brien. After another bystander, also a former Marine, pulled out his gun, the suspect dropped the knife. That's when Kolakowski subdued the attacker and held him until police arrived. 'I just turned into somebody that I haven't been in a long time and just stayed on top of him until the deputy ran up and jumped on top of him with a rifle in his face, and I helped the deputy arrest him,' Kolakowski said. All 11 victims – who are between the ages of 29 and 84 – are expected to survive. A California mother and her 8-month-old daughter are missing and haven't been seen for nearly two weeks. Family, friends and authorities are asking for the public's help in finding Whisper Owen, 36, and her infant daughter Sandra McCarty. Owen, who is also the mother of three other children, is described as 5'6', 145 lbs., with blue eyes and brown hair. Sandra is 1'10', 17 lbs., with green eyes and brown hair. On July 15, the pair left Fresno to return to their home near Sacramento. A traffic camera last captured their vehicle — a silver 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer, license plate number 9LKH008, with damage to its driver's side headlight — shortly after 8 p.m. that night in Atwater. 'I'm desperate to find my daughter and her baby,' Owen's mother, Vickie Torres, told CNN. 'It's like she vanished into thin air.' Animal rescues and shelters across the US are reporting sharp increases in surrendered pets. Several of those organizations have told CNN that financial hardship is at the root of those owners' decisions. The cost of owning a pet — food, toys, grooming, vet visits, etc. — has increased in recent years. Some tariff-sensitive goods are expected to be even pricier in the months to come. Many pet owners are also facing a deterioration in financial stability, including the rising cost of living, debt burdens, an unexpected (human or animal) medical event or a job loss. 'It just breaks us to see people cry that they have to give up their animal because they have to move somewhere that's more affordable, and that place that's more affordable for them doesn't allow animals,' said Megan Larson, intake manager at Ruff Start Rescue in Minnesota. 'This is a very devastating decision that these people are forced to make. People don't want to do this.'

Tennessee Titans' best moments: Remembering Derrick Henry's stiff-arm on Josh Norman
If you'll indulge me, here's a quick personal story: On Oct. 13, 2020, I was about three months into a new relationship. It's a Tuesday evening. I'm living alone in Oxford, Mississippi, quarantined in my apartment for what felt like the 4,000th-straight day. I've got Titans-Bills on the TV, a strange midweek treat to break up the monotony of Month 7 of lockdowns. And my girlfriend calls me. She's had a rough day. She needs to vent. Call me Frasier Crane, because I'm listening. Or at least I think I'm listening. Here is No. 17 among The Tennessean's best moments from the Tennessee Titans. Because I look up at the TV and Titans RB Derrick Henry has just absolutely obliterated Bills cornerback Josh Norman. Henry has just flung Norman like he was flicking a booger. It was the kind of stiff arm that made me sad because I knew ancient Greek poets never got to experience this dazzling beauty. Norman was perpendicular to the ground one second, then parallel the next, then on it the third. Henry didn't just take Norman's lunch money. He took it, invested it in a high-yield account, cashed out and then used his dividends to buy the cafeteria to rewrite the rules so that Norman would never be allowed to eat lunch again. I wanted to scream. I wanted to high-five something. I wanted to find a mountaintop, or at the very least a tall hill, where I could primally yell so loudly that I scared all the birds out of their trees and forced them to fly away in unison. But I was on the phone. And my girlfriend had a hard day. So I used all my experience gleaned from 10 years in press boxes and stifled all my sports-fan urges and kept that stiff-upper-lip to make it seem like I was listening. The play, famously, didn't count. Offsetting penalties erased it from the record books. But we all know what we saw. On a random Tuesday in 2020, Henry landed the stiff arm to which all other stiff arms in NFL history will forever be compared. The still of Norman, hanging in the air, roughly knee high as Henry looks poised to plow through him a second time, is as intimidating of an image as any that exists. It's cool. It's bad. It's a moment that deserves the kind of scream I couldn't give it. But good news: That woman and I are happily married now. Still kinda regret not finding that mountaintop, though.
