YES, AI “headshots” are getting popular… but they also look fake as hell.

Bad AI Headshot

Perfect skin that looks like plastic.
Eyes that don’t quite match.
And a face that kinda looks like you… if you were cast in a low-budget sci-fi reboot.

Here’s the problem:
None of it is real.
And people can tell.

When you show up online with an AI-generated version of yourself, it sends the wrong message instantly:

❌ “I took a shortcut.”
❌ “I don’t look like this in real life.”
❌ “I’m hiding behind a filter.”

Meanwhile, a real headshot does what AI can’t:

✔ Captures your personality
✔ Shows your confidence
✔ Feels human
✔ Makes people trust you

AI can generate a face.
A photographer captures a presence.

And in business, presence matters more!

So if you want a headshot that actually works—one that gets you taken seriously, chosen, hired, promoted, remembered—skip the AI glamour shots.

Show up as you.
Not the cartoon version.
