I live with an actor. Every year or so she gets a set of professional headshots done which costs somewhere between £300 and £1000 depending on the photographer. While the quality of a professional set is undoubtedly better than these (currently) they're not so far off and I can see an acting student or jobbing actor going for a service like this if they're skint.

So in the future you'll submit your AI generated headshot that looks nothing like you, but no one actually cares what you look like because they'll replace your face in the final shoot anyway.
You still need high quality photos to generate these headshots. Anyone can just put those photos in midjourney or stable diffusion, and with ~10 minutes of prompting, generate their stylized headshots?
You absolutely do not need high quality headshots, that's not how stable diffusion works. I've used similar services before and your run of the mill duck face selfies work fine.
