#2Examples look like pretty basic Photoshop filters circa 20 years ago.

photoshop requires human work, but this is fully done automatically, that might be the major difference

#5These look great! Can you explain a bit about the underlying technique? Is this using InstantID?

Just requires a single snipped of javascript to do the same automatically. Photoshop supports robust scripting.
You can also do much the same with imagemagic, no AI required.

#8One interesting development from generative AI is that it has opened a lot more people's eyes to seeing kitsch.
Professional artists generally don't see great value in the style of art exemplified by these AI-powered image generators. It tends to be formulaic, derivative, and melodramatic with all the high-contrast portraits and sunsets and oversaturated pastoral landscapes. But popular taste has been in many ways stuck a century or more in the past.
Now that these styles can be generated at the click of a button, it's far easier for even laypersons to see them as essentially canned forms of expression. I wonder if this augurs a larger shift in artistic taste. The introduction of photography fundamentally changed what people want from human-made images, and AI could have almost as far-reaching effects.

#9if you want to do this yourself you're going to want stable diffusion and one of the clipspace face embedding controlnets (tencent Photomaker is one), the ones that keep the input pose exactly are likely using depth as well or maybe straight image2image, I demoed something like this at open sauce this weekend making pixel art on an ancient dot matrix printer.
I'll endeavor to package everything up and post a repo in the near future, this sort of low effort sass stuff really irritates me. I'll do my best to replicate this functionality in a easy to use open source UI/UX

#10Seems nice. I'd use if it was a GIMP plugin.
