AI filters vs. filters

What’s the difference, you might wonder. The difference is significant. Standard filters use pre-defined color layers that go over your original image. AI filters, however, use AI generative art to build a new visual from scratch based on your original image. You can think of it as an image-to-image AI art generation.
