Musk's daughter in Desigual's campaign defies artificial intelligence

The article discusses a fashion campaign by the brand Desigual featuring Vivian Jenna Wilson, the daughter of Elon Musk. The campaign, titled 'Born to Disobey,' critiques the increasing influence of technology and artificial intelligence on society, emphasizing individuality and resistance to algorithmic control. Wilson, who changed her gender identity in 2022 and distanced herself from her father, uses humor to engage with the idea of technological oversight. In the campaign, she interacts with an AI assistant, testing its limitations, and expresses defiance toward the notion that technology defines human behavior. The campaign includes a T-shirt with the slogan 'Born to obey' as a counterpoint. The article highlights the tension between technological advancement and personal autonomy.

Elon Musk, known for his roles and ownership in companies such as SpaceX and Tesla, as well as former leadership in the US Department of Administrative Efficiency under President Donald Trump, finds himself at odds with his daughter, Vivian Wilson. The 22-year-old model and internet personality has taken a public stance against artificial intelligence, expressing concerns over its impact on the fashion industry. She believes AI takes jobs away from talented creators while harming the environment, and claims it can't convey genuine emotions through fabricated colors and shapes. In a fall campaign for Spanish fashion brand Desigual, Wilson challenges AI by interacting with robots in a humorous manner. The ads feature her confronting robots in activities like golf, bed-making, and gardening. At one point, she leads a robot on a leash as a dog, tries to teach it to speak, and ultimately throws it against a wall after finding it ineffective. The collection includes a shirt with the slogan “Born to Disobey,” which translates to being born to break rules. Wilson, who came out as transgender at 16 and began hormone therapy, severed ties with her father two years ago. She described him as “balding and dirty little controller” on social media and maintains financial independence. Musk has publicly denied her claims of transgender identity, calling her child “dead, killed by the virus of corrupted thinking.” He has also dismissed accounts of his absence and coldness during her childhood. The campaign, titled “Born to Disobey,” opposes a world increasingly shaped by algorithms and AI, emphasizing individuality. Wilson interacts with a seemingly helpful AI assistant, testing its limitations. When the robot fails, she states, “He was created to be poor. I am not.” Despite their history of conflict, the campaign serves as a playful yet pointed response to Musk’s technological achievements.

Musk's daughter over fashion over artificial intelligence: disagrees with father Elon (PHOTO)

Elon Musk, znani inovator in vodilni lastnik podjetij SpaceX in Tesla, se sooča z nasprotovanjem svoje hčerke Vivian Wilson glede razvoja umetne inteligencije. Wilson, ki je transspolna ženska in ne želi več biti povezana z očetom, sodeluje v jesenski kampanji španske modne znamke Desigual, kjer predstavlja umetne inteligence kot neuporabne in negibne. V oglasu se spopada z roboti v različnih situacijah, kot so golf, postelje in vrtnarjenje, kar kaže na njen odklon od umetne inteligence. Wilson meni, da umetna inteligencia nadomesti ustvarjalno duho in škoduje okolju.
