Parents are increasingly turning to generative AI tools like ChatGPT to create school portrait images for their children, often at a lower cost than traditional photographers. They upload photos and prompt the AI to add backgrounds and remove watermarks, effectively producing personalized school pictures without paying for professional prints. However, this practice raises concerns about privacy and data security, as uploaded images may be used to train future AI models without parental consent.
