But instead of learning stable diffusion and training their own model for better results for free, they're paying a service for 100 images that likely won't be well trained.

I love this take because it’s the modern ML version of shaming someone for not brewing their own beer

I'm speaking in the context of the article which posits that AI is flawed.

I'm arguing that it's not flawed if you do it right, but the services that provide cheap AI headshots are lacklustre.

I don't expect everyone to learn it, but I also don't think you should say it's flawed unless you've tried to do it properly.
