Earlier quoted context omitted.

In my mind "filter" is some specific algorithm that does a single expected transformation

There's a pretty clear expected transformation here though? It takes an image and then reduces the "shiny-ness" of it by giving it the same transformation: change the sky to overcast, add material degradation like rust, reduce the landscaping by adding weeds/puddles, and remove the happy looking people.

This filter seems to also change some architectural details and features, as well as degrade the quality of some materials in an unrealistic way.

That's the 'built by the lowest bidder' feature. Probably pretty realistic in a lot of places.

Used it on some Fortnite screenshots, I'd play that depressing version! https://files.catbox.moe/i8tfkl.jpg https://files.catbox.moe/mw8vbc.jpg Then I thought what would it make from an already dark and grim scene, like HL2 Ravenholm https://files.catbox.moe/d7z77h.jpg but nothing really? Just made the whole thing a different color scheme + changed some architecture
