The iPhone camera app turned me into a Minecraft character and my surroundings into a scene from the Lego movie

Reddit user Mariam717 has created one iPhone camera app that might be the best AI image generators a run for their money. Lentil AI: Photo Art Generator uses artificial intelligence to transform photos into various fantasy-themed art styles, from beautiful hand-drawn watercolors a la Studio Ghibli to blocky creations inspired by Minecraft and Lego.

Remarkably, posts on Reddit suggest that the young developer/entrepreneur who created the app is still in school. Talk about a bright future! The AI image generator/camera app lets you take a photo and then choose from a selection of AI filters or simply use existing photos as the basis for your AI creations.
