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.

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?

Regardless of whether these are adobe employees or not, I’d argue that a feature like this warrants such a response.

It makes me miss Apple’s old keynote style that they’ve abandoned in favor of the bland, sanitized, over-polished and pre-recorded video keynotes.

I’m honestly over so much of the corporate cynicism and Blind-indification that’s turned what was once a necessary precautionary stance to this demonization or ridicule of people who happen to love their work and where they do it.

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…

Precisely. There are many such use cases too! It's disappointing to see the industry go all in on chatbot wrappers.

Come on.. it is literally dream come true for an artist whose nightmare is indecisive, confused clients.

You have to read some of the YouTube comments to understand that some of those hoots and claps could be for real.

This is certainly a great immediately useful tool but also a relatively small ROI, both the return and the investment. Big tech is aiming for a much bigger return on a clearly bigger investment. That’s going to potentially look like a lot of useless stuff in the meantime. Also, if it wasn’t for big tech and big investments, there wouldn’t even be these tools / models at this level of sophistication for others to be using for applications like this one.

Why might a kid not want to draw something from a different angle? In my introduction to drawing course I was asked to draw my non-dominant hand every day for a week, each time from a slightly different angle.

It is the 'make something for the user/client' vs. 'make something to sell' mindset.

The latter one is what overwhelmingly more companies (not only BigTech, not at all!) adopted nowadays.

And Boeing. ;)

While the press lumps it all together as "AI", you have to differentiate LLMs (driven by big tech and big money) from unrelated image/video types of generative models and approaches like diffusion, NeRF, Gaussian splatting, etc, which have their roots in academia.
