AI Cosplay!

I've just heard of this: AI Cosplay.  I can't even guess what is intended; does some cosplayer get into costume, and then modify the image with AI, or is this some robotic person doing cosplay?

Cosplay doesn't make _any_ sense unless there's an actual person sort of acting out a scene.  The talent is seen in the makeup, the wigs, the costume, the expression, in short the acting.  When that's taken over by AI, there isn't anything left to appreciate.  It just becomes fantasy fan-art, which is interesting only to fans of that Fandom.  In Cosplay, we can relate to the final shot at many different levels, but basically relating to the cosplayer as a human being.  In this new genre, if you want to call it that, there really is no human being at all.
