Likeness first
Most AI photo tools optimise for a flattering result: smoother skin, a slimmer jaw, studio light. It photographs well, and it misleads the person who matters, the one across the table. CMeIn optimises for the opposite question, can someone tell it is you, and keeps your face as it is. By the standards of a headshot that is a worse photo. On a profile it is the one that works. It is why studio portraits underperform on dating apps, and why most AI photos stop looking like the person they came from.
