For all the &quot;AI-powered&quot; hype, I expected a lot more than an automatic background removal tool. It doesn&#x27;t even do a good job around the edges - there&#x27;s a noticeable halo, especially around hair.

Tried it, not all that impressed to be honest. This is just a glorified background remover. Even trying out the add background feature, it&#x27;s just some pre-generated gradients (no custom) or a solid color (custom). Downloading the result, it doesn&#x27;t look that great. Bad aliasing, low-res[0].<p>You also say this in your OP:<p>&gt; Contribute the example repository with issues and pull requests.<p>You make it sound like this is open-source, but I see nothing about this.<p>Echoing the other comments: allow me to delete my account, I don&#x27;t want to have to email anyone.<p>Really don&#x27;t know why this has been upvoted so much...<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;eiacVKd.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;eiacVKd.png</a>

Can we aggregate all the other ai avatar generators for comparison, why is this one climbing up the front page?

&gt; Is my data secure?<p>&gt; Yes, we take data security seriously and have robust measures in place to protect user information.<p>I think if you&#x27;re going to mention this, you should add more information.<p>This vague response makes it look shadier than if you didn&#x27;t mention this at all.

In iOS you can just long hold over any person in an image and it will be extracted perfectly from the background.
