The [demo PDF](https://github.com/Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image/blob/main/assets/Z-Ima...) has ~50 photos of attractive young women sitting/standing alone, and exactly two photos featuring young attractive men on their own.

It's incredibly clear who the devs assume the target market is.

Considering how gaga r/stablediffusion is about it, they weren’t wrong. Apparently Flux 2 is dead in the water even though the knowledge it has contained in the model is way, way higher than Z-Image (unsurprisingly).

The model is uncensored, so will probably suite that target market admirably.

It's interesting the handsome guy is literally Tony Leung Chiu-wai, https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0504897/, not even modified

They're correct. This tech, like much before it, is being driven by the base desires of extremely smart young men.

Not just extremely smart young men, but probably young men who fall closer to the incel category than normal go-on-tinder-and-find-a-date category.

		Something like >80% of men consume sexually explicit media. It's hardly limited to involuntarily celibate men.

		With today's remote social validation for women and all time low value of men due to lower death rates and the disconnect from where food and shelter come from, lonely men make up a huge portion of the population.

		I mean spending all that time on dates, and wives, and kids gives you much less time to build AI models. The people with the time and desire to do something are the ones most likely to do it, this is no brilliant observation.

They maybe have an rhlf phase, but I mean there is also just the shape of the distribution of images on the internet and, since this is from alibaba, their part of the internet/social media (Weibo) to consider

Please write what you mean instead of making veiled implications. What is the point of beating around the bush here?

It's not clear to me what you mean either, especially since female models are overwhelmingly more popular in general[1].

		> Female models make up about 70% of the modeling industry workforce worldwide Ok so a ~2:1 ratio. Those examples have a 25:1 ratio.

The ratio of naked female loras compared to naked male loras, or even non-porn loras, on civitai is at least 20 to 1. This shouldn't be surprising.
