    One of the fundamental limitations with Illustrator's Concept to Vector filter (or other AI-based tools in rival vector graphics applications) is that the app has to work with generated results that start out as pixel-based images. Then the filter tries to turn that image into vector-based art as best at it can. Those results often fall short of clean, production-ready vector art that was created by human hands.
