A gallery of examples would be nice. Else, it's too much effort. People are gonna just close the browser tab, like I did.

I guess it's impressive you can train a network to do that, but it doesn't look much better than a photoshop filter.

Right, I don't see the "anime" part. This just looks like one of the thousands of nameless photo editing software filters.

Now that AI figured out how to press the "posterize" button, the singularity is surely just around the corner.

Yeah, glad there were examples, saved me trying it. Results are nowhere close to what I expected. Zero of them looked like anime at all, for one thing. Many truly did look like one or two basic Photoshop filters had been applied, and that was it.

Does the app keep any data after generating the image?

To be honest, it looks pretty weird... the eyes are asymmetrical..

The Snap filter that does something similar to this looks much better, is live, and doesn't use a ton of deep learning I think :)
