My favorite AI headshot service at the moment. They look more natural, IMO: instaheadshots.com/?via=bryan

[@niki-mars955]

Just discovered your channel looking for reviews of AI generated professional headshots. Great vid. Thank you.

[@grittynitty]

Not free for sure. They wanted like $40 bucks for 10 headshots.

[@alisemis]

Honestly, I discovered you 3 weeks ago. I was trying to job applications since May 2023. I got rejected and never heard back from the recruiter by email either. Past 3 weeks, I got almost 12 phone call interviews and 5 face-to-face interviews. Thank you so much for being helpful. I will subscribe to your website and candidate packages when I get a job.

[@ALifeAfterLayoff]

My pleasure!

[@JimmyJaxJellyStax]

It's wild how much we really are influenced by looks, whether we admit it our not - hardwired in us.

[@10akee]

No need to apologize about the background noise. I actually like it.

[@Siddhi-Raviprabha75188]

The headshot the AI made looks professionally done, way better than any selfie I could take. Cool video!

[@campandcook3118]

The obvious advantage of AI generated images is, they CANT be used for facial recognition, since the image deviates a bit from your actual face structure. There are even some GAN scripts that improve this effect.

[@Tagesschatz]

yes but in the database where you created it is saving it

[@juanfranciscojesushernande3396]

I recommend to read terms and conditions before you use it, your face may be used for other purposes.

[@lenamonique18]

Thanks for saying this. I was apprehensive

[@Gunz_andweed]

Honestly that’s with any site tho, someone could easily grab your pfp here and use it for other purposes

[@jimbojimbo6873]

This is the T&Cs on everything you upload though

[@jaimemonroyofficial]

Do you use facebook, youtube?

[@ericneal8582]

I bet most people already gave this away in the T & C for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc.

[@jellis976]

I did this after watching your video. I needed professional photos but don't have the money to drop $200+ right now for only two outfit changes. Some were hilariously terrible. But i actually got five nice ones that I will use. And i tested them out by sending to family and they couldnt tell it was AI. Thank you lots!

[@ALifeAfterLayoff]

If you can find one that's realistic, it's a great way to get a headshot without the hassle.

[@yourmoneymatters8425]

I tried the mobile version and it is charging me $10 per month....Didnt you said in your intro that it was free.

[@Picla_Peremohy]

@@yourmoneymatters8425 $10 per month? I actually think it’s $10/week unless you pay for the annual subscription.

[@tango-bravo]

This will become the new standard for many people who wouldn’t have needed to hire a pro photographer for headshots, but I don’t think anyone will be fooled that it’s AI. Let’s face it, every middle-class rank and file worker does not need a professional series of corporate headshots. There will still be a niche for the higher end headshots by the pros and for the pros - and the real photographers will find ways to set their creative works apart from the AI stuff.

[@ALifeAfterLayoff]

Pro photographers will always have advantage over AI. But there are several major brands using AI for ad campaigns now.

[@senesiethomas7141]

I can actually take your own professional pic and remove background and be more real than an ai photo….

[@jtixtlan]

My best un-retouched selfie that actually looks like me was taken in my car. This would be great for decluttering the background.

[@Taruni-Devahuti3565]

The AI headshot turned out so natural looking, Im impressed! Might have to redo mine with this method.

[@oceanbreeze1110]

Thanks Bryan for the tip. I was planning to get a headshot spending $200 but this will work perfectly.

[@nielsdominguez991]

technology as evolved since, better results with headshotgenerator io and others

[@Flexizy7]

Awesome thanks for showing this. Im going to use it

[@RageSpell24]

thanks for the recommendation! appreciate it!

[@Neeharika-Dwipavati8617]

Whoa neat, I never would have thought AI could make a headshot that looks that realistic. Def gonna give this a try.

[@Parbarti-Daksha1426]

Nice video, gave a good overview of the process and results. Definitely something to consider if needing new LinkedIn or profile pics.

[@Naiya-Surama22905]

Nice that you can tweak lighting and background too, adds more control over the final pic.

[@Kalpana-Reshma274]

Very cool demo of the tech. I always struggle taking a good LinkedIn photo so this could be a good solution for me too.

[@sarannec1282]

You have a beautiful bride! I love thT blue and red shot. That is a keeper! I probably would not use that software (just too creepy).

[@Narmada-Suchita2001]

These headshots turned out great! Looks very realistic for AI generated. Nice video!

Your wife is a doppelganger for The Flash's wife.

[@rogertramp]

That is what I thought as well.

[@carriefrazier1809]

I was about to post the same thing: Candice Patton is the actress’s name

[@Mandeep-Shishirkana614]

Using AI to generate photos is such a neat idea. Might save some money versus traditional headshots.

[@Jayashri-Asha02138]

Wow $17 for 100 pics is an amazing deal. The quality seems pretty good too. Might have to try this service myself.

[@NikNik0123]

Love this channel! Thank you!

[@recruitcrm]

How far have we come! Thanks for the advice :D

[@fortusvictus8297]

Got a spicy topic for a video/comment: Generally speaking what is a larger issue in hiring departments, biases against age or weight (obese candidates etc.)?

[@Rujuta-Sadhika58532]

That was really interesting to see the process and results. Definitely saving me money versus a real photographer.

[@Abhilasha-Jahanara525]

Really interesting experiment! The technology has come a long way but still has room for improvement on more complex features.

[@ChrisParlett]

Is it still catfishing if I use the mermaid setting on Remini?

[@covenantcontracting3815]

Can you do a video discussing Linkedln learning? I do like this feature and I’m using it more and more. However, do the certificates given from these courses actually hold any weight and value to your resume or a recruiter looking at my profile?

[@alix_btb]

Cool video, I never would have thought to try AI for a LinkedIn photo.

[@randyarock]

I'm giving it a try and WOW - my pics are going to take a whopping 17 minutes! AI will have to work a LONG time to fix this mug! 🤣🤣

[@1234567mrbob]

Where do you do this? Every site I see is either a "free trial", or something that looks like a spam site. I don't want to pay a ton of money and I don't want to get spammed.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

A.I. struggles with glasses, so I'd like to see how it does with those of us who wear them. I don't (and never will) wear contacts, so it will have to be able to render my glasses in different angles.

[@velocityvibes8497]

Just curious why you choose not to wear contacts? I thought of using contact lately butt is there something I should be worried about?

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

@@velocityvibes8497 For me, I don't like the idea of reaching in my eye to put contacts on or pull them off. Some of them you can sleep in, but if not and you do sleep in them, your eyes are going to look horrible the next day. Also, I have one eye that trails off because it's extremely weak and doesn't help me to see beyond the use of peripheral vision. I'm not certain if contacts would keep up with that eye or if the constant trailing would make it fall out. Speaking of which...contacts falling out doesn't sound like a fun thing to worry about, lol. And lastly, the cost. I buy my glasses online where it's cheaper, but my strong prescription still means I pay about $100+ for my glasses, depending on the frames I want. However, these glasses are then good for a year or two, maybe more if my prescription hasn't changed. Contacts I believe are good for about six months and I would spend double what I do in a year to have them.

[@freakfreak786]

i wear contacts all the time lol its awesome, try it

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

@@freakfreak786 and @velocityvibes8497 Since both of your comments are similar, I'll just answer them together, lol. I lrefer glasses because I find them easier to handle. While you can sleep in some contacts, you still have to deal with taking them in and out most days and I don't like sticking anything near my eyes (never really cared for wearing makeup but I struggle especially with trying eyeliner because of this). I also have the fortune of working from home, so I take naps on my lunch break. I like being able to just slip my glasses off at lunch and slide them back on with no fuss when I get up. I also have one eye that is much weaker than the other. It trails off into the corner when not actively in use (which, despite both eyes being open, it's usually only working for my peripheral vision). I would be concerned for contacts on this eye, given it spends most of the time just resting in the corner, lol. I wouldn't want the contact to slip out or cause discomfort. Speaking of bad vision, contacts can be pricier than even glasses. Whereas glasses can last me two years for about $100, you usually have to spend about $60 and get about 3-6 months. I would have exceeded the cost of my glasses in one year. And lastly, I like how I look with glasses. While I could do with less comments about supposedly being more intelligent just because I wear glasses (these uave become fewer, thankfully, in adulthood than when I was younger), I do like the sort of intellectual look glasses provide. I just got into cat-eye glasses, frames that are upturned a little in the corners, like a cat's. I love my current pair, which also have this sort of tiger pattern around them. This all said, I do know a few reasons that have made me at the very least wonder about contacts. Headphones would be easier to handle. I like playing my PlayStation with the aux cable connected to the controller, but the b headphones can cause the ears of my glasses to press into the bridge of my nose or my ears. And I wouldn't have to worry about things like cleaning contacts as much. If it rains, I don't need to pause when I get in and out of the car and a few drops splash on my face (I have to wipe water lff of my glasses). I can blind the water away with contacts. I suppose one could also say that contacts offer less risk of something breaking, but I've not broken a pair of glasses since my childhood, so that's not really a concern for me. Ultimately, I just prefer glasses over contacts.

[@athena4109]

Wow! Love it

[@Daisy-li3eu]

I am doing the free trial, but it only enhances the original photo - does not do different backgrounds and did not ask 1) for multiple phots; 2) additional info like gender and 3) ask for background. It literally just enhanced original offering only 4 options and "cute" was the only one that didn't make me look 18 years old. How do you get the version that will use different backgrounds, etc.?
