The “AI” distinction matters. A filter maps effects onto pixels; an AI model interprets — deciding how to simplify a face into cartoon lines. That is why the output feels drawn and why prompts actually steer it.
Why AI, not a filter
The model recognizes a face, glasses, a smile, and re-renders them in the house cartoon-doodle style: bold outlines, flat color, warm-white background. Interpretation brings variability — two runs can differ — but it is what gives the cartoon life.
Steering the model
Cartoon of me. Keep the septum ring and the fade. Flat color, no text, warm-white background.
