> Alternate title: Levi’s to replace minorities with computer-generated pictures.

To be fair, that wouldn’t increase (even apparent) diversity. They are replacing non-minorities with computer-generated pictures that look like minorities.

I think OP is getting at the replacement of the potential models who Levi's would need to hire

That is assuming that they would make the same image-related changes if doing it required hiring more actual minorities, which is purely speculative.

I'm still wondering how diversity is important to this story about replacing models with avatars.

… in order to, primarily, save money.

(I assume human models get paid??)
