The man is literally homeless and begging for money. I try not to judge people and how they spend their money, but tbh I don't think him spending $500, $50, or even $5 on having a human make a similar picture would be a good use of his meager resources.

I must admit that it became extremely difficult to feel sympathy for the guy when, after extensively describing how AI systematically took from him every means he had of creating value, his conclusion was “AI is still great, the problem is that government and charities aren’t doing enough to cover the costs AI is imposing on me”.
Guy had approximately one shot at making a desperate call (we can all be there) and he fumbled it with AI imagery and text which will turn off a lot of people.
