I was sure AI art filters were just a gimmick until I saw one recreate a blurry photo of my dog as a painting with perfect anatomy

I tried three different filter apps on a photo from 2019 where my dog was mid-sneeze and the last one actually got his ear shape right, has anyone else had a tool surprise them like that?

Yep, the third one I tried completely shocked me last month. I put in a super grainy 2018 photo of my golden retriever shaking water off in bad lighting. One filter turned it into a charcoal sketch that somehow had his coat texture perfect down to the individual wet clumps. The first two apps made him look like a mutant fox with three legs.

Had a buddy try something similar with an old photo of his cat sleeping in a sunbeam. The cheap app turned it into a nightmare creature with about eight eyes. The good one gave him this soft watercolor painting that made the cat look like a little angel, even though that cat was a total jerk in real life.

Wait so you're saying the third app actually got the anatomy right, not just the fur or coloring? Like the ear shape and proportions actually matched your dog and not just some generic dog template? That's interesting because I've been wondering if these filters are actually analyzing the photo structure or if they're just slapping a painting texture on whatever blurry blob they detect. The ones I've tried totally failed on my cat's face shape just turned her into a generic cat every time. What was different about the third one that made it actually pay attention to the real details?
