I see lots of useful tools made related to translation and code generation, but image generation seems to be primarily used to deceive, harass, or embelish to the point of questioning what the point of a photo is anymore anyway?
To me it feels so weird that people are trying to push these model for online shopping like "here is how this dress/shirt/pants would look on you". But these models will always make the clothes fit your body and show you in flattering light and so on. How the actual garment fits is still as elusive as before these tools
The short-term goal of a tool like this is to sell products. The more ambitious long-term goal is to shift cultural norms, blurring the lines between advertising and reality until the question you're asking is no longer consciously asked. At least, not by average people, and not at the point of purchase. I find it easy to envision a world, maybe 50 years from now, in which the very concept of "truth in advertising" i…
There hasn't been "truth in advertising" for many, many years. The only thing that has changed recently is that you don't even have to hide most of the lies.
Image generation is the least interesting and most concerning aspect of AI.

But I understand the jaded perspective. I guess the idea of ‘deepfakes’ didn’t give AI image gen a great reputational start.

Alternatively, perhaps we'll see models fine-tuned or steer-able towards accuracy that customers can themselves use to get a more honest view on what the product would look like in person.
The funny thing about these tools is that they can go either direction, but it sure seems like there's the potential for it empower individuals and shift the balance. Clothing sales shifting online has given sellers the advantage/ease to deceive without much customers can do other than hope the reviews aren't manipulated (they are) even before AI. Maybe this can turn things around as people start to shop with personal agents.

This seems like something that could be solved by asking an LLM to write the prompt for the image model. You can also feed in the output of an image model into an LLM and ask it to check it/make improvements.
This is the way. There's definitely more dogfooding that needs to be done. And id argue that if your purpose is truly to learn or to teach, the process of describing that image will do wonders for retention.
If you're wanting to learn then you won't have the expertise to craft a prompt that has the correct details or to spot when the model makes a mistake in its output.
If you're in a teaching position then you won't have anything to learn.
They must have trained on GPT Image 1 outputs. The yellow tint is unmistakable. https://qianwen-res.oss-accelerate.aliyuncs.com/Qwen-Image/i... https://qianwen-res.oss-accelerate.aliyuncs.com/Qwen-Image/i... https://qianwen-res.oss-accelerate.aliyuncs.com/Qwen-Image/i... https://qianwen-res.oss-accelerate.aliyuncs.com/Qwen-Image/i...

I use nanobanana 2 to test changes in paint and flooring/tiling to great success. And the real pro move is taking those images to a designer to tweak the remaining 20% or so.
And at this level it's barely any different than an architectural render, more for "how could this look" rather than "how will this look"

>I find it easy to envision a world, maybe 50 years from now, in which the very concept of "truth in advertising" is viewed as a lost, idyllic fantasy. Something people are nostalgic for, but feel powerless to regain.

I wonder what kind of capabilities those might be?
The meta keywords in the HTML is very interesting. 100+ references to NSFW topics such as hentai, nudes, etc.
What value does the 'keywords' meta tag even have these days? 77+ KB of crap added to the page weight. Web development is full of idiots.
