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

How do you explain a horse 2 legs become 4 legs when rotated assuming they only drew 2 legs on the side view

The model need only recognize from the shape that it is a horse, and would know to extrapolate from there. It would presumably have some text encoding as residual from training, but it doesn't need to be fed text from the text encoder side to know that. Think of the CLIP encoder used in stable diffusion.

I don’t think those ideas are mutually exclusive. I heavily dislike Adobe and think they’re a rotten company with predatory practices. I also think “AI art” can be harmful to artists and more often than not produces uninteresting flawed garbage at an unacceptable energy cost. Still, when I first heard of Adobe Firefly, my initial reaction was “smart business move, by exclusively using images they have the rights to”.…

> I also think “AI art” can be harmful to artists and more often than not produces uninteresting flawed garbage at an unacceptable energy cost. What do you think about Midjourney? The (2D) results are pretty incredible.

That is where opinions actually diverge between pro-AI and anti-AI clusters - they look gorgeous and human-indistinguishable if you aren't trained with tons of images, or extremely disturbing and obvious if you were. It's like how CGIs and special effects from the past would look terrible today.

The big genAI flamewar actually has very little do with copyright or would-be-lost jobs. It's mostly about quality and emotions encoded in the images(deep rage). Lots of tech inclined miss this point.

I think your last paragraph sums it up pretty nicely: users need a good UX to get to these tools. So I would love if GIMP started shipping these awesome plugins by default to pick up the pace!

IMHO Krita has really become the cross platform open source darling for graphic editors. There are some things that are unintuitive but it's leagues better than GIMP.

Krita is amazing but isn't it specialized for digital painting rather than general purpose image manipulation?

The video is much better than the linked page. The video shows the dynamic multi-angle character rotation and other object rotations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=63

Weird that YouTube's default error page (xnx's post) is a 1 minute video titled "YouTube is not currently available on this device.".

And a video from 7 years ago on their channel. So confusing

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…

They're attending and celebrating the demise of their own professions?

> is not one of the top 5 used features in Photoshop I mean, is there any Photoshop feature that’s come to dominate people’s workflows so quickly? People (e.g. photographers) who use Photoshop “in anger” for professional use-cases, and who already know how to fix a flaw in an image region without generative fill, aren’t necessarily going to adopt it right out of the gate. They’re going to tinker with it a bit, but ti…

You're super wrong. Pro here working with this stuff for decades. There was a brief moment in time where freehand was just a better and faster drawing tool than illustrator (which is whats is shown here) but from there on psp, ill & indesign have pretty much killed all competition out there. The formats they use are sigularly stupid and arcane for legacy reasons, they are all mem hogs and inefficient to the extreme -…

paint shop pro?

Their profession will be fine. They will continue to better understand colours, composition and design principles better than me.

We will both have AI to our disposal, and they will make better designs quicker than me.
