> After that, the only people needing the address would be the state to have on file to send correspondence regarding the business. At that point, so many businesses have an address in another state/country to yet again make that address meaningless. Not really sure what your point in thinking a physical address is meaningful. It is one of the best ways to validate valid business from scam sites. There is a point for…

We're just going to have to agree to disagree. Shell companies filing incorporation papers with fake addresses are a thing. If you think that the bizAddy listed on some website is the end all of verifying a company as legit, then you're still susceptible to being scammed. There are plenty of services offered to companies that provide a physical address that is nothing more than a wall of mail boxes and a person on st…

Usually the best way to verify the company is either look Google Maps street view or look for address in EU lists (in EU).

With shell company you might be able to get scammed indeed, but that already makes it much harder and rises the bar.

It's nicely presented, good job! Unfortunately with my free credit it came up half baked, as grayscale with some color splotches and without the background I described. The caricature rendition of my supplied photo is very good.

Thanks for the feedback!

I tried it with some photos of my partner and I - whatever the photos I choose or how many times I tried, I'm always very realistic but my partner is ... somebody else. I guess your training set lacks some particular faces or something, because it always want to render someone else, and curiously it's very coherent in that someone else.

Privacy policy returns 404 It is important in service like this.

Sorry I was rushing to get the site live, privacy page will be up soon

> privacy page will be up soon

Well it has been almost 24h now, and it is still not up. I think it is concerning that you did not put up a simple "we immediately delete the images you upload and we do not store any data about you, nor do we track you using cookies or share data with third parties".

Since you do not have a privacy policy, I would expect that you do not do any of these things. So why not write this?

If the service takes any money, it should not be hurried. Missing privacy policy, no physical address et. will get you flagged as scam site in EU pretty fast.

In this day and age, why does Drawbert need a physical address? That's ridiculous. It's not like someone is going to go to the address and expect to see Drawbert's studio with all of its paints and easels and canvases just laying around waiting to be used. After that, the only people needing the address would be the state to have on file to send correspondence regarding the business. At that point, so many businesses…

The state is not the only entity to which this concern applies.

Not even close. Traditional Photoshop filters can't do anything like this. I know the filters you're talking about, and they can certainly turn photos into some faux-artistic effects, but the result is really bad, and everything in the image remains in the exact same place. This is applying an actual artistic style, and also changing body position, background, hair, lighting, etc. So I don't know why you'd want to be…

To an untrained eye, it all looks the same really. There is no artistic style here that you can clearly see in any decent museum of fine arts. It really does just look like photoshop filters. Not sure the power costs of running a model like this over the caloric costs of a human + the power to power their photoshop machine, for instance, is worth it.

No, they look nothing alike. And I described why. Which you haven't even acknowledged. And it has nothing to do with an "trained eye".

Saying they look the same is like saying Nintendo 64 graphics look the same as PlayStation 5 graphics. It's just incorrect.

They look alike to me. I'm sorry that I am not you, and cannot perceive reality the same way that you do. Really open-minded of you to think like this, really.
