With all the talk about AI lately, I couldn’t help myself when I saw an ad on LinkedIn for AI headshots. Given I never have anything more than a selfie of myself, I thought I would give it a go. What the heck, right?
Best four bucks ever spent. Have a look…
I mean, I needed a portrait of myself as an Pokemon character, or adorned in Tudor robes, or how I would look in 20 years, didn’t I? Don’t we all!
A few of these are pretty good, and some are super fun…but some are just…”off”. It reminds me of all the crazy movies about genetic cloning – it’s just impossible to capture the original person’s essence, no matter how close you come.
I don’t know about you but I will stick to actual photographic portraits by a person who sees the person in front of the lens. Nothing compares.
I am TOTALLY going to use the one of me with the ears though, i mean, come on – that’s pretty cool.
