Virtual models gives you a lot of flexibility. For example, you can change the skin color of the models depending on the country of the IP address. You can even tailor the body types of the models for every customer to maximise the sales.

I wonder if, after a torrid love affair with AI models, we'll have to return to human models simply because nobody could resist the urge to tweak the AI model parameters beyond what is sensible and useful over time, as AI modeling users compete to stand out that little bit more. Convenience of flexibility could become a problem, in the long run. Not that models haven't had their own problems with trying to conform to whatever the industry's standards of beauty is this month, but having to still be living human beings has at least kept them on Planet Earth to some extent.
