Tried it on my basement and the generated picture wasn't even close to relevant. I think the issue was that I have a ton of junk in my basement and the generated image had no idea about what was junk and what was important in the room. It closed off a window, made my ceiling taller, and added a giant window in a place where it's just not possible.

It looks more like it's re-skinning a room/space rather than trying different design ideas - all the elements remain where they are, but are restyled.

I think a big contribution of an interior designer is their ability to see potential in a space and reorganize it in a way that works better for a purpose / feels better to be in. This in comparison seems "skin deep"

Cool! Just tried it out with my partner (in the process of designing their living room in a new place).

UX suggestion: let me select a new style without having to re-upload the photo. We wanted to check out a bunch of styles on the same photo, but doing so took 10 clicks instead of just 1!

Really cool. My girlfriend is into interior design and I've been showing her projects like this as they come along: in her view these are some of the best results yet. A few first impressions though:

- They need to add a filter to the uploaded images (or at very least curate the front page), maybe some kind of classifier that determines if people are in it. This kid [1] is all over the examples if you click "load more". Absolutely hilarious, but I'm sure not what they're going for.

- The model loves to change "boring" exteriors into scenic vistas. Brick wall? -> Cityscape. Trees? -> Ocean view. Yes, that does improve the room, but I'm not sure moving your room to beachfront property or up 40 stories is practical for most people.

- The model seems to have a bias towards making rooms darker. Dark/moody scenes are usually not how designers choose to show off their work, or what most people want.
