Well, first of all, I don't buy the idea that there is a clear line between 'filter' and 'generative' AI. Even in the example Krita dev posted [0], you can see the 'filter' AI made up a bit detail (the way the girl's eyes look became different), it's just not as smart as so-called generative AI.

And about the privacy and copyright concern, what we currently have are:

Stable Diffusion: local and offline, but not copyright-clean.

Adobe Firefly: online, but copyright-clean (if we believe Adobe's claim).

So if we combine the better sides of both, it suddenly becomes okay?

Well, there is a clear line between a handmade filter and AI. But this is clearly AI since it relies on a filter optimized via automated training on images.

I think we are in agreement, I have used more descriptive wording to just clearly indicate what I consider as a filter.

(Edit: yeah, looking at the image I can see it clearly takes some artistic liberties. Even on the dragon.)
