That's exactly what I want. Only you get the choice of a few buttons.

It does the job. In seconds. For example, let's say this was me.
With a button press on Android, this could be my look-alike avatar.
People would still recognize that avatar as me. For one button press.
That efficiently preserves (most of) my face privacy while still being me.

AI will only get better.
But what I pine for is the ease of cartoonify editors on Windows to exist.

They already do that on the Android platform but I shun all payware as
unbecoming of privacy (as I do adware, but cartoonifiers are adware).

Understood about the revenue stream, and the lack of skills of the user
enabling that revenue stream, but I've only paid for two pieces of software
(well, maybe three) in my life - so I'm not likely to be their whale.
In summary, while this offshoot is about finding on Windows the power of
Android editors, overall Windows software pales in comparison to what
Android software does in terms of one-click cartoonify editing features.
Where Windows excels over Android is in complicated cartooners, like
Blender - which is your point - I understand - but it's not what I asked.
