Like take a photo of an animal and sort of cartoonise it in human(ish) form. Does it exist?

Don’t a lot of phone cameras allow you to apply a filter that does that?

Not mine. Never heard of it.

All the ‘AI’ image generation machines will do a fantastic job of that. You might be shocked how good a job.  
I’d recommend starting with midjourney

Well, they can do a fantastic job of that, at least. Sometimes they’ll instead do something completely weird like leave the animal intact but turn the lampshade in the background into a person.

[NovelAI](https://novelai.net/image) has a setting for doing that. Here’s what happened when I told their “furry” generator to make an anthropomorphic sheep version of Captain Marvel:

NovelAI is a paid service that started out as a story writing site powered by GPT-J (which I think is a stripped-down fork of GPT-3) and later added their own customized Stable Diffusion engines. I am not sure if their free trial allows any image generations. One nice thing about NovelAI’s image generators is that they are very fast. Much faster than NightCafe and other free online versions I’ve tried. I have not tried MidJourney.
