Finally a big player is talking about image to vector using generative AI. This will make the lives of graphic designers so much better. No reason that humans will continue to trace images in this day and age

What I love about this AI generative art is it will finally put the right price on computer generated art: $0. It will be interesting to watch the entire Hollywood and associated creative industries lose control to AI. Entire movies will be created in small basements. Same with AAA video games.

And digital art in general. If you can't tell the difference between human made and AI made art, they will cost the same. Near $0.

Anyone able to comment on where in their opinion the measure is for current state of copyright law when generative AI is a subset of an image?

``` Copyright Registration Guidance: Works Containing Material Generated by Artificial Intelligence

A Rule by the Copyright Office, Library of Congress on 03/16/2023 ```

The high compute costs for training and legacy software foothold seems that it may encourage rent seeking in the big tech companies. I hope the huge costs and compute demands won't only enrich the big tech companies that can afford to run the models on heavy duty hardware. If it does, it will potentially lead to the rich companies, individuals, and persons greatly outpacing their peers.

These models can be run locally, but I see far too many businesses and bloggers resign themselves to renting OpenAI's cloud instead of tinkering with LLaMA/Alpaca, the community Stable Diffusion finetunes and such.

Adobe does have a legal edge here, which is interesting and perhaps actually worth a subscription if needed.

Creative people are paid to be creative, not enter keyboard shortcuts all day. It’s the idea and vision that are the real differentiator.

I found the little sketch-to-vector-variations part interesting and surprising- this is something that is solidly not done via a diffusion model unlike everything else shown. Although I note it says "We plan to build this into Firefly" implying that... this isn't something already finished.

I imagine this would use "in the style of a line drawing" prompts under the hood to produce line-esque raster images suitable for vectorization, with the resulting vectorized images being what's shown to the user.

Possible this is not significant, appears that within the feature set is a text-to-vector image generator that produces editable vectors art. There’s no direct link I was able to find, but feature is listed here:

Is anyone aware of any similar open source or services that handle text-to-vector generative AI?

This will supercharge artists, it won’t replace them because details matter and when you need to get it just right, you cannot just keep rolling the dice by “prompting better”

There are interfaces where you can not just "prompt better" but change the image with a tool like Photoshop and then feed that back into the diffusion model.

Also there are people who really don't care about quality. There have always been different tiers of art: it's one thing to have clip art for a throwaway blog post (royalty free stock), it's another thing to base a marketing campaign around images (rights managed stock) because you don't to have all your competitors choose the same image.

The bottom feeders will be very happy to accept the problems of A.I. art and in fact you might not have the embarrassing dogpiling problem that the above blog post describes.
