Have you seen the new AI tool on Facebook that turns your photos into cartoons? Knowing my distaste for all intelligence that’s artificial … you can guess how thrilled I was at my results.
First up?
A woodchuck.
.
.
Which morphed into … what is that, an extremely happy dire wolf ?
Next I tried Lord Dudley Mountcatten. I figured that wouldn’t be difficult.
He only has two colors.
.
.
Umm… no. Not even close. And is that a dismembered tail to the right?
Tired of animals, I tried people.
.
.
Well, they nailed the cleavage… but my cartoon GI Joe-like husband looks as if he wants to strangle me.
.
.
I could live with this version of myself. At least her face is thinner.
.
.
But how did they manage to turn my big smile into a scowl here?
Not overly impressed, I tried one more photo.
And had my biggest laugh.
Not only did they turn me from a brunette into a blonde…
.
.
But what the Hell happened to my husband?
Worst. Cartoon. Likeness. Ever!
🤣🤣🤣

River's world..... 
Those are AWFUL!!!! Geesh!!! I haven’t tried very much yet. I had one picture animated and loved it, but somehow I lost it and can’t find it saved anywhere.

I haven’t seen that feature, but those are really bad. I guess they learned everything they needed to know about cartoons from Mary Worth (and yes, I realize I just insulted the creators of Mary Worth – I’m sorry).

That was taken as we were leaving for the Marine Corp ball. Big hair, big skirt, big cleavage.
Totally 80’s!

I haven’t played with AI images yet, but these are just plain bad!! That said, my better half is in med school and regularly uses AI to create visuals to help remember things, and it’s my understanding you need to be super details in the prompts… though with feeding an image in, you’d think it’d be simple enough. 🤔

Does the cartoon cat have a tumor on its left foreleg? And did the cartoon selfie turn you into a teenager?

A tumor, definitely.
And god… I hope not. I don’t want to be a teenager again.

I’ve been playing with AI images – creating them from a prompt – for a few years now and AI has gotten better about fingers and arms and such – FB’s Ai tool is new therefore it hasn’t learned much yet – even Apple’s image playground is better than that, I just thought – even photo editing apps from years ago, without AI converted photos better than that. Meta just sucks…

Well, most all of them were awful, except for the one with the two of you dressed formally. The cartoon version of you made y’all look like James Bond and one of his Bond Girls 😉

Wow, that is interesting. I like the cartoon versions of you and your husband. You are pretty good with this media and AI stuff. Did you ever do this professionally? I think you could help a few authors out with publicity. Enjoy your weekend.

As usual, AI sucks. But it is good for pattern recognition; best use is probably reading MRIs.

I’ve been playing with Google Photos “Remix”, which I think uses less AI (maybe none?), and turning cats and people into enamel pins or kawaii sticketrs.
