totally fair point — I actually agree with you. Privacy was one of my biggest concerns when building this.Right now, the trade-off I made was accessibility vs. local-only setup. Running the models locally still requires a fairly heavy setup (GPU, memory, model weights), which would block most non-technical users.
A local / self-hosted version is something I’ve seriously considered, especially for developers and privacy-sensitive users.
If there’s enough demand, that’s definitely a direction I’d like to explore.
Really appreciate you calling this out — it’s a very reasonable concern.
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback — really appreciate it.If you’re curious, feel free to give ai-headshot-generator.art a try.I’ve also added a 50% off code: SRLEILCR as a small thank-you
