When your AI phone is the real artist

Take a look at the images below. They're all based on pictures taken using my Honor 10 phone. Huawei (Honor is a brand name) have provided a powerful image editor for the phone which I used to produce these effects (click on an image to make larger).

Photos are transformed to coloured pen drawings or watercolours.

If I had produced these myself I'd be marvelling at my own skill; perhaps others would too. Knowing that it's the Honor 10 AI chip doing the creative work here, does that change anything?

Yes.

    1. Huawei tech increasingly looks and feels like Apple stuff in terms of design. But it seems to me that *technologically* they're not really copying anyone in phones - they've reached the leading edge.
