That’s unfortunate: https://imgur.com/a/3x5axjl

I love how people will a) criticize OpenAI/etc. for restricting access to models and "aligning" their output, and b) immediately leap to shaming models that aren't "aligned".

Not just you, it's all over this thread.

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"

This looks to be stable diffusion with controlnet. Since many of the original lines are kept it is probably Canny Edge or HED. That's why it looks so similar to the original room.

Looks to me like Depth, though I haven’t played around with the other two with photorealistic images.

Yes, it's depth

The cost for truly bespoke pieces and the types of people not paying a designer to redecorate their space will nearly cancel each other out.

For this app in particular sure. But in general I expect a massive uptick in people playing around with telling image AI's "make a modern looking table and chairs with sharp geometric designs and..." then refining the concept and taking that as an inspiration portfolio to a craftsman. I wouldn't be interested in paying a designer to just come up with ideas that I may not even like, but if I have something I know I li…

The benefit of having a designer is that you can have input at every stage of the process. Pick some swatches out, pick some styles, pick a budget. You aren't just throwing money into the void and getting a human designed living space. Iteration is part of the process.

I'm sure AI will evolve and this will be a different conversation, of course.

Glad you like it! I understand your point; I'll work on object segmentation and let users decide what to change. Thanks for the feedback

Please do! Adding in a Segment Anything Model UI to the app would be great. You can then click on the items you want removed and use the segments as inpainting masks for the generative model.

Leveraging multiple models here (Segment Anything is a good candidate) seems like a must to build a defensible product. Using just SD with basic control net and maybe some additional finetuning makes it very cloneable. If you leverage other models you can do things like identify what elements of the room must be preserved (walls, windows) and what can be safely removed or edited. This could allow you to generate a simulated image of the room without furniture as a base. Derive a 3d projection to allow the user to place basic 3d furniture stubs within the space. Then use those stubs to create subject masks with the furniture-less base to render a final room.
