So this is the secret sauce behind Cinematic mode. The fake bokeh insanity has reached its climax!

As well as their "Spatial Scene" mode for lock screen images, which synthesizes a mild parallax effect as you move the phone.

I understand AI for reasoning, knowledge, etc. I haven't figured out how anyone wants to spend money for this visual and video stuff. It just seems like a bad idea.

Simulation. It takes a lot of effort today to bring up simulations in various fields. 3 D programming is very nontrivial and asset development is extremely expensive. If I have a workspace I can take a photo of and just use it to generate a 3d scene I can then use it in simulations to test ideas out. This is particularly useful in robotics and industrial automation already.

This is incredibly cool. It's interesting how it fails in the section where you need to in-paint. SVC seems to do that better than all the rest, though not anywhere close to the photorealism of this model.

Is there a similar flow but to transform either a video/photo/NeRF of a scene into a tighter, minimal polygon approximation of it. The reason I ask is that it would make some things really cool. To make my baby monitor mount I had to knock out the calipers and measure the pins and this and that, but if I could take a couple of photos and iterate in software that would be sick.

Do people not spend on entertainment? Commercials? It's probably less of a bad idea than knowledge. AI giving a bad visual has less negatives than giving the wrong knowledge leading to the wrong decision.
