Read the scene as a viewer would
A generated office, luxury car or famous destination can communicate more than an attractive background. Ask what someone might reasonably infer about your work or experiences from the picture.
Apply a scene check
- Identify any implied location or activity.
- Remove borrowed status symbols.
- Prefer ordinary settings you are comfortable describing.
- Disclose generated use when the context calls for it.
A simple outdoor portrait is different from an image that appears to document you climbing a mountain you have never visited. The issue is the implied story, not only facial accuracy.
Keep real context in the set
Pair any appropriate generated portrait with recent real photographs that show your life. Do not use AI to manufacture pets, friends or events. The best candidate improves presentation while leaving a person with a broadly accurate impression of who they will meet.
