I bought this tool because I wanted to create my avatar - mainly because I avoid being in front of a camera like it’s a root canal. When I do brave the camera once a year, it’s painful, expensive, and honestly, I’d love to stretch that to every two years if possible.
So, I uploaded 12 photos that really capture me well. The avatar it spit out? Let’s just say there was some resemblance. But here’s the kicker: my short mahogany hair is basically my trademark, and I never wear black. Yet, the AI decided to gift me with flowing long brown locks, a black business suit, and curves that exist only in an alternate universe.
Meanwhile, I tried KREA alongside this, and their results were better, even though I have to pay monthly. So, PhotoGPT is going back. But since today is May 30th, and I’ve developed a serious love for TACOs (yes, TACOs!), I will give you 4 TACOs anyway. Because who can resist TACOs? And it is not the tool's fault that AI isn't that good with women older than 20. I have observed this with many AI tools and as a researcher I started looking into this in more detail.
