Fuck you man . Why ' d you have to bring that shit up . <| sep |> I like buns with raisins <| sep |> OMG ! ! I always wanted to play this when I was younger but it was always rented at Rogers video ! Is it good ? ?<| sep |> you ' re a tad bit late on this one mate <| sep |> This is another age old slang vs proper term argument . Filter is something you overlay over an image , but keeping the image mostly the same , so if the image was an actual physical photo you could add and remove filters without affecting the photo . This is a neural net painting , as in a robot was told to paint the image like another image in this case a painting . It didn ' t overlay anything over it , it analysed the painting for lines , fills , details , etc . and reconstructed them in the form of the photo . Calling it filter is the same as asking an artist to paint you with a caricature filter . It ' s just insulting to the technology . But unfortunately as it went mainstream the term neural artneural stylestyling got lost and it was swept under the colloquial ' Filter ', from where this confusion comes from .
