    what does "AI, turn me into a professional headshot" even mean?

    i am not saying "make her white" is the thing it should have done, but, what did she expect it to do

      Make the lighting and background look more professional probably, I think a lot of these AI models to give you a headshot are supposed to make it look like you're wearing a suit or something too

      A "headshot" is a sort of professional picture portrait one would use on their LinkedIn profile. I believe the term is more common in theater spaces. The shot on the left would have worked fine to be honest

        She probably wanted to turn the basic selfie into something that more closely resembles a professional studio portrait in terms of lighting and composition.

        yeah so like they took a thing that was what they wanted and then told the AI to do more of it? so idk what she expected to happen

                I will continue being polite to AI when I have to interact with it. For one, nothing wrong with a bit of extra politeness. Two, when the robot overlords eventually do gain sentience I want to be on the good list and end up as like, a warlordbot’s pet instead of in the mines.
