TIL that AI art tool I paid $50 for was just a fancy filter

Honestly, I dropped $50 on this app called ArtGenius last week because it promised to turn my photos into custom paintings. All it did was slap a basic oil filter on everything and crop it weird. I wasted an afternoon trying to get something usable for my shop. Has anyone else tried those paid AI art generators and found one that actually works for real projects?

Wait, did you even adjust the color grading sliders or just hit generate?

Did you try messing with the settings or did you just click one button and call it done? Most of these tools need a lot of tweaking to get something halfway decent.

30 clicks minimum before I got something I didn't hate.
