Earlier quoted context omitted.

Arguably non-artists benefit the most. This is a time saver for skilled artists but a whole new ability unlock for the unskilled ones.

I was going to write how this would be cool in a kids drawing app but the thought that they might never feel the need to draw something from a different angle. I wonder what other activities have been lost to time and technology.

> what other activities have been lost to time and technology

- flintknapping

- "teamster" as a very highly skilled occupation

The source (Adobe MAX) 'demoes' full range of incredible scenarios.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfct0aH2COw

Not bad, but what's up with the audience? Is there an Adobe cult or something?

Of course there is. Just like there's an Apple Cult, Android Cult, Facebook Cult, Sportsball team cult, blah blah blah. Any group that is large enough to attract that many users/followers/fans will naturally have a subset that is more gungho than the rest.

I'm making some big assumptions about Adobe's product ideation process, but: This seems like the "right" way to approach developing AI products: Find a user need that can't easily be solved with traditional methods and algorithms, decide that AI is appropriate for that thing, and then build an AI system to solve it. Rather than what many BigTech companies are currently doing: "Wall Street says we need to 'Use AI Some…

Yeah I much prefer this approach to the current standard of just putting a chat bot somewhere on the page and calling it a day.

There’s millions of Adobe product users out there. Almost all the design tool developers have keynote events.

This is the true power of generative AI, enabling new functionality for the user with simple UX while doing all the heavy lifting in the background. Prompting as a UX should be abstracted away from the user.

This probably isn't backed by an LLM but instead some kind of geometric shape model.
