This was kind of my thought, this is a rather complex task that I'm not clear what even a "good" outcome would look like especially given the first photo was a pretty good photo. Should it just color correct and sharpen it? Should it change the background? Should it position your head?

I'm curious what it would do if you just fed it already good professional photos of white people, would it just spit back the same image?

Like there has to be a cap on how much it will change so it still looks like you, in which case I assume you'd need to feed it multiple images to get a good result.
