The [demo PDF](https://github.com/Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image/blob/main/assets/Z-Ima...) has ~50 photos of attractive young women sitting/standing alone, and exactly two photos featuring young attractive men on their own.

It's incredibly clear who the devs assume the target market is.

They're correct. This tech, like much before it, is being driven by the base desires of extremely smart young men.

I mean spending all that time on dates, and wives, and kids gives you much less time to build AI models.

The people with the time and desire to do something are the ones most likely to do it, this is no brilliant observation.

You could say that about any field, and yet we don't see the same behavior in most other fields

Spending all your time on dates and wives and kids means you're not spending all your time building houses.

I mean things that take hard physical labor are typically self limiting...

I do nerdy computer things and I actually build things too, for example I busted up the limestone in my backyard in put in a patio and raised garden. Working 16 hours a day coding/or otherwise computering isn't that hard even if your brain is melted at the end of the day. 8 - 10 of physically hard labor and your body starts taking damage if you keep it up too long.

And really building houses is a terrible example! In the US we've been chronically behind on building millions of units of houses. People complain the processes are terribly slow and there is tons of downtime.

So yea, I don't think your analogy works at all.
