I do like AI stuff but isn't it simpler to just introduce 3d clipart essentially? Sure models could then be generated, but traditionally made models could be used too

It is a lot easier to make a 2d drawing than it is to make a 3d model.

I don't think quite the same kind of tech, but this kinda reminds me of the "3D" pixel art sprite editor thing in Smack Studio https://youtu.be/sM3ss-lY1zU?t=10

In summary, Smack Studio is a fighting game with a character editor that can rotate any 2D pixel art sprite as if it were 3D by extrapolating a depth map. You can export the resulting sprites for use outside of the game.

The game was released on 2024-07-31.

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…

Adobe has a powerful moat. That's why companies like MSFT can find better way to integrate AI into workflows rather than just AI companies without any moat.

SIGGRAPH from over a decade ago has entered the chat... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oie1ZXWceqM It may not be AI, but this single video blew my mind back in *2013* and I find myself thinking about it often.

>SIGGRAPH from over a decade ago has entered the chat... > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oie1ZXWceqM A version of this was available in Photoshop for a long time, but I think the feature was deprecated and removed completely this year. I had used it for a few things here and there, but dedicated 3D tools were much better if you were working in that space.

Looks time consuming

Interesting! What are some unique features not typically found in other apps? (don't say generative fill lol) Creating a specification for minimum viable features of a raster editor able to replace Photoshop would be fantastic. Could serve as a roadmap for alternatives and for bragging rights: "Painter2900: implements 99% of the Rasterflames Liberation Standard, and more!".

Mask precision, plugin compatibility, scripts and actions, color profiles management, brush options, camera raw compatibility, liquify tool, 3D, font options... I just named a few that I use regularly. Beside functions, Gimp's UI looks outdated.

Besides the UI, GIMP's UX is what breaks my heart.

My company has decided to update its hr page to use AI for reasons unknown. So instead of the old workflow: "visit HR page" → "click link that for whatever reason doesn't give you a permanent link you can bookmark for later" it's now: "visit HR page" → "do AI search for the same link which is suggested as the first option" → "wait 10-60 seconds for it to finally return something" → "click link that for whatever reaso…

Your company really needs those AI acceleration chips we're being shoveled!!

You could make your search that you didn't need 10x faster!

Force-feeding 100s of different AI features (90% of which are useless at best) to users is what's wrong with the approach.

Why? It's not "force-feeding". You usually get a little popup highlighting the new feature that you close and never see again. It's not that hard to ignore a new "magic wand" button in the toolbar or something. I personally hardly use any of the features, but neither do I feel "force-fed" in the slightest. Aside from the introductory popups (which are interesting), they don't get in my way at all.

Depends on the product. Notion, for example, has a "press Space to AI" prompt in the editor. I think it can only be disabled for enterprise accounts.
