To cut to the chase, its people taking advantage of generative AI apps to enhance or stylize their profile pictures. Whereas most AI image generators create purely synthetic content based on prompts, some of the images you see on Instagram use real selfie photos as their source material, so they should at least partly resemble the people who use them.

Its worth mentioning here that selfie-based generators depend on well-lit, close-up photos with uncovered faces, and the better the source material, the better the output will be. You may end up taking new photos to make them work, in which case there might not be much reason to turn to AI. Theres also a chance that you wont like the way AI stylizes you, even if the output is visually acceptable.

On a psychological level, theres a risk that AI images can lead to a distorted body image. They depict an idealized or exaggerated version of ourselves that we can never achieve, so bear that in mind with your own avatar, or the ones you see online.
