Not to drag this out, but I was thinking about it again last night when I was looking at some recent political cartoons.

Whether the image is satirical and exaggerative, or its just going for verisimilitude, the trick seems to be to zero in on the quirks in a person's face.

For instance, if you're making a political cartoon about Trump, you exaggerate the nest of dyed hair, the orange tone to the skin, etc. But even if you were trying to create a good likeness, those would be factors.

Stephen King has such a distinctive face, it would seem one that lends itself quite well to caricature, like this:

But also to something more "realistic," like this:

He just has such notable features.

My point to all of this: it's interesting the AI you used seemed incapable of coming up with anything that really captured King's features. Maybe for you, or someone with prosopagnosia, lol, it looks like it could be King, but to me it doesn't at all. So maybe AI is trying to please us both, and it makes the image broad and generic rather than quirky and specific.

Okay I've taken up enough of your time! LOL. Thank you
