Is it pretentious of me to look down on AI generated headshots?

Can't explain why, but the trend on LI is grinding my gears. Maybe it's the uncanny valley of it, something is just off.ย

Wait, explain? They use your headshot and make it better? What AI about it?

Itโ€™ll add outfits, smooth skin, create backgrounds.

A) this is scary and weird

B) I look pretty awful and could probably benefit from some AI work

Itโ€™s the smooth skin that tips it into creepy. Too perfect.

Thatโ€™s gotta be it, Iโ€™m going to keep using the wax museum analogy.

Ah, missing the days of the overly photoshopped senior portraitsโ€ฆ

I guess Iโ€™d better go browse LI and see what youโ€™re mentioning.

Iโ€™d prefer the same shit for 30 years than the awkward wax figure dead eye look these apps spit out.

Itโ€™s nothing new. People been doing filters on Insta for years.

There's one that I considered that seemed pretty damn professional and realistic. I don't think it's a bad idea, but I also don't think it's great enough to do it. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

I 100% need to update mine but definitely NOT going AI.
It's weird to me.

Yeah, I`d only think less of a person that uses AI to enhance their profil pic. I mean playing with background of it is fine, but where I draw the line is anything to do with the face, hair, body etc.

Yeah, it's so cringey. They're obviously AI and the people are way hotter in the AI than in life. Do not love it.

These are my fav, my teammate has hair in his, bald as can be now. Bet itโ€™s a shocker to those he connects with first prior to meeting.
