she showed me an image of her ai companion in a perfectly tailored suit, standing in impossible golden-hour lighting. i said the outfit looked great. she joked that i should start dressing like him
then she suggested i could build more muscle and change my haircut to resemble the character. i asked whether the comparison worked both ways and whether she wanted me to critique her against generated fashion models
she admitted that would feel terrible. we talked about how easy it is to compare real bodies with images built from preferences rather than biology
she still uses the image as a fashion reference, but stopped asking me to become the render. i bought a nice jacket because i liked it, not because a chatbot wore one
