This image from the article shows that the original image and the fantasy image are not alike at all. The faces look to have different ages. The computer even fantasized a beauty mark.

This is another avenue that could be further explored, which I quite like. That is, a non-artist can doodle images and create a completely new photo-realistic image based on the line drawings.

I was modifying a few images (from link on another comment here: https://affinelayer.com/pixsrv/ ) and the end results were interesting.
