that is super cool you are in that industry, any thoughts on a tool that assists interior design teams/architects on this kind of ideation?

It has the potential to retire the average salaryman in the creativity field (not just interior design teams/architects but specially UI/web designers). Outliers will be outliers and choosing one may give the client an edge but the average creative may not do much better than this "AI" and as such loose the ability to put bread on the table doing "creative" work.

Do you think it's gonna be a tool used by these "average teams" or like a standalone self-serve product without any service human involved? I'd bet on a former, but why do you think?

Once we can do "more like this", "less like that" in a way that doesn't require a 3 paragraph inscrutable word soup for prompts, I don't see how this doesn't revolutionalize most industries that need any type of quick prototyping of anything. You could do this for any sort of web / mobile / whatever UI, designing houses, cars, any object really, fashion, etc. It's all going to be so much faster.

I think its either a simpler program with a phrase database, or another AI, that all serves as an abstraction to understanding prompt sections to steer Stable Diffusion

And at the same time ... only variation of conformism ?

Stable Diffusion opens a lot a avenues and yet it is somewhat "restricted" to what it "knows/understands". Put differently, if cars it exposed to is black can it paint them pink ? What about even higher level construct ? It can not innovate can it ? Not yet ?

Anyways, fascinating.

If you go to 95% of architects or interior designers, they will give you designs that are largely representative of current trends, which is incidentally what most people want.

Very few people in creative industries are truly pushing that industry into new frontiers, and that is actually appropriate. Exploring outside the frontier is actually full of failure, and far less likely to produce something most people want.

I honestly think that people operating outside of the frontier of established creative trends technically have a completely different set of skills, and a completely different job altogether, than people who create within the boundaries.

outliers don’t always start out as outliers though, it’s a skill that needs development usually

You are probably not going to get Stable Diffusion to spit out a picture of a car by feeding it pictures of horses.

However, we should not neglect small incremental innovation that is created by combining previously known knowledge in new ways.

This is still rehashing the same concepts/ideas in circulation not producing novel ones nor innovating in this space. Maybe it will prove beneficial for rapid prototyping during the ideation stage for mass-market products/services in the commercial/residential remodeling industry but nothing revolutionary.

One thing I'd say as a UI/Web designer is that often you are responding to a unique set of requirements to a specific brand / use case / functionality. I can 100% see how tools like this will influence and redefine the idea phase of a project but at the moment I can't see how it will make the leap from something that looks like a fuzzy representation of an end product to something that IS the end product.
