Woman hires AI to make photos of her – but something isn’t quite right, TikTok shows

Depending on the experience and equipment a photographer is using and the time of a shoot, a professional portrait session can cost anywhere between US$100 and US$300 per hour, according to Expert Photography.

A woman on TikTok said she paid an artificial intelligence program to generate professional images of herself, but the longer she looked at the final products, the stranger they seemed.

Kelly Baums, who lives in Chicago, told her TikTok audience she paid a mere US$17 for 100 photos of herself, all generated by an AI program known as Try It On.
