Yes, it's very difficult to tell your style from your photos, social media presence, and explicit instructions provided when you signed up. This is sarcasm if you didn't pick it up.
People who are as picky as you outlined self-select out of services like this.
What they have that the customer doesn't, is knowledge of the space of products that may match your taste. They also know more brands than you do, and may match you with one that you weren't aware of. Like most services, we can do it ourselves, but we pay others because we don't have the time.
yeah, you're probably right. It should get easier to find adequate stylings for people who stay longer with the service, as the database fills. And that's probably also the moment where less stylists are needed because your "AI" can do (more of) it.
btw. how they treated their workers judging from the article is absolute appaling and another indictment of gig companies.
