Young professionals are turning to AI to create headshots. But there are catches::undefined
But instead of learning stable diffusion and training their own model for better results for free, they’re paying a service for 100 images that likely won’t be well trained.

I love this take because it’s the modern ML version of shaming someone for not brewing their own beer
I’m speaking in the context of the article which posits that AI is flawed.
I’m arguing that it’s not flawed if you do it right, but the services that provide cheap AI headshots are lacklustre.
I don’t expect everyone to learn it, but I also don’t think you should say it’s flawed unless you’ve tried to do it properly.
Yeah, my wife tried one of these services and got terrible results. They really do give better results to certain people’s faces depending on the training set
Basically, yes. I train models as a hobby and this is true since it depends on what it’s trained on.
Let’s say I train a model purely on Caucasian women, it’ll be hard to get an Asian male out of the model since it’s not trained on it.
Same goes for other features like hair color, eyes, nose, etc.
Yeah, makes sense, the people I saw online with “successful” results were primarily white men, which I would imagine would pop up pretty frequently in a training set. The bias also feeds into the echo chamber of AI hype too in my opinion
Yea, but that applies to everything kinda.
