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 β€œscissors.”
@trevorparker @davidaugust Oooh, good call, AI slop. Unboosted.

@ai6yr @trevorparker

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.

@liquor_american @davidaugust @trevorparker Filter is definitely AI redraw, it's slopping the original image, sadly. :-( And end user would not know this without careful inspection. Just out of curiosity, which filter is it?

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

nope, again. It is a simple filter, no AI:

@davidaugust @ai6yr @trevorparker My friend, have you investigated how "style match" in Canva works?

Edit.. from the horse's mouth: "Style Match is part of the Canva AI ecosystem" https://www.canva.com/help/style-match/

@liquor_american @davidaugust @trevorparker Yeah, this is AI restyling for sure... it's not traditional filtering , it's generative AI. You can take any photo from the web and "Copy art style" and it will regenerate your photo in that art style... i.e. Manga, etc.
@ai6yr @davidaugust @trevorparker You can draw a stick figure and have it create a character from it. No "filtering" can do that. Funny how they only acknowledge that it's AI at the very bottom of their how-to page.
