Men confirmed ‘true colors’ when mature fashions used AI to ‘flip a lot youthful’
Mature models discovered the ‘true colours’ of men after transforming into uncanny AI versions of themselves.
In the past year or so, all things artificial intelligence have exploded – from disturbing deep fakes of celebrities to the world’s first AI beauty pageant.
While some people have been left ‘creeped’ out by the uprising of robots, others have tested out the seemingly limitless possibilities of the computer generated tool.

And it’s apparently revealed a lot about men and their desires. Here, we take a look at two social media savvy mature models who have used AI in their work – and unveil what reaction they got.
Elaina St James
Age-defying model Elaina St James already has had a successful career thanks to her gorgeous looks.
The 57-year-old managed to pave herself a place in the industry – despite being trolled for her job that leans to the racier side.
Although she’s reaped the rewards from posting bikini snaps to her 404,000 Instagram followers, Elaina started to notice a drop in the engagment and traffic on her posts.
The model, who has famously dated lads 30 years her junior, decided that a surge of AI ‘women’ were to blame.
So, she had no other choice to take matters into her own hands – and create computer generated versions of herself.
What the US beauty found out was really telling about her predominately male following….
Elaina turned the clocks back by creating five different AI models of herself to see which one was the most popular amongst fans. She used a range of ages, hair colours and body shapes for the test.
On her social media channels, Elaina said: “More than an experiment the results became a significant exploration into the culture of social media, branding, marketing and AI.
“What makes a successful social media content creator and why. Is it all about the perfect model or is there something more? Would a young, curvy blonde gain more attention than a brunette 40-year-old mum creator? Would a perfect body do better than one that had a few extra pounds?!”
Elaina didn’t have much success with the 20-something models she had made. But, interestingly, found that the profiles of the ’40-somthing’ figure and an older model were much more popular amongst men.
In Elaina’s ‘experiment’, it looks as if men prefer an older woman.
“This was the one that took off”, Elaina said when speaking of the 60-something silver haired version of herself named ‘Elle Taylor’.
She continued: “The two younger ones did not take off. They were supposed to be in their early 20s, but did not work.. Yeah I got a few hundred followers, because I know the formula to grow an Instagram or Twitter. But Elle was my success story. She was my grandmother, 60 plus, silver hair.”
Elaina revealed her second most successful page was the AI model in her 40s, ‘Eva’, though she only reached 2,800 followers, whereas ”Elle’ gained just shy of 20,000.
She speculated: “Is it because she reeled in more older men who didn’t realise she was AI? It’s possible. Or maybe there’s just not a lot of hot, silver-haired influencers out there.
Gina Stewart
Gina Stewart found her fame as the ‘world’s hottest gran’.
The Australian bombshell modelled for years but found her true calling later on in life where she’s featured on the Maxim Hot 100 list and modelled for Playboy.
Despite having a large following on Instagram for a number of years, Gina’s fanbase exploded when she started posting pictures of a 28-year-old version of herself.
However, these were not throwback snaps. Instead, the gran from Down Under decided to make a much-younger ‘Gina’ by using AI.
Unlike Elaina, Gina found that the youthful version of herself made her male following shoot up in their thousands.
It’s worked so well that she’s looking to leave her ‘world’s hottest gran’ title behind to pursue all things AI.
She thinks that her men love the “fantasy” of a woman – even if that woman is not ‘real’.
Previously speaking to us last year on the subject, Gina claimed: “My following has skyrocketed on social media and I’m the most followed AI girl in the world now
“As you can see from my comments usually between 300 to 1000 comments sometimes per image. They love it.
“She’s basically famous in her own right and immortal. It’s lucrative and I have some companies reaching out with contracts in the pipeline coming together.
“It’s a fantasy, like Playboy of the 70s, the impossible beautiful woman and men just love them.”
So far, Gina has said to have made over £40,000 from her AI model that she brought to ‘life’ last year.
Men often call the computer generated version of the gran a “goddess” and a “natural beauty.”
She once feared that AI would “destroy” her brand, but it’s only made her much stronger.
Gina told us: “I’m now a paid ambassador with Fanvue and it is a direct competition to OnlyFans so I get paid to promote. I also make $10,000 (approximately £8,000) a month with the platform using my AI model as well as my real self.
“I think I thought that AI would be easy and I would have all this free time. But it takes time to create professional photos, lots of creativity and a good eye for aesthetics. I actually see each photo as a work of art and sometimes I spend hours to perfect.”
