edit: messed up and replaced image with a fixed image. I stumbled, foolishly, into using an AI filter I thought, foolishly, was a traditional style image filter.

@davidaugust @ai6yr Those are some bizarre “scissors.”

Edit: turns out it was AI, I messed up. Fooled and foolish. Sorry about that.

nope, processed stock photography, the scissors are occluded in the original, this is a filter on a stock photo. I found it as part of the Brown Black and White Modern Labor Day Instagram Post template on Canva. It is not AI:

@davidaugust @ai6yr @trevorparker What filter? It did some awfully slop-looking things to your image. Are you sure your filter isn't itself a bit sloppy?

On edit: The more I look, I'm increasingly convinced your filter *does* sloppify. It's introducing details that aren't in the original, and not just like visual anomalies. I mean look at how it "filtered" the tool in the far background that has no discernible detail. Or look at the snips in the fore. Same story, the "filtered" version has detail that does not exist in the original.

Your filter is not just transforming image information.

I am sure. The lighting on the stock image lends to the geometry of the scissors becoming less distinct without much manipulation.

The filter is a simple "etching" filter. The source image set ups the reality of the spacial reality of the scissors becoming vague and unclear/artificial seeming.

@davidaugust @liquor_american @ai6yr @trevorparker How do you think style matching filters work?

They are generative AI.

"Style Match uses AI to change how your photo looks. When you apply styles to photos of people, facial features or skin tones may look different. Try a different style or report the content if results are unexpected."
