Deep learning based style transfer that got viral a year or two ago was worse than this 2008 result, especially worse for that hone application to portraits. The hype was nowhere near just because there's no deepness. I admit that https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.01088 https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.01088 this beats everything and is extremely powerful and simple but the hype for deep things seems a bit too strong.
