I've often desperately wanted to put certain landscapes from my dreams into art, but I suck at drawing.
There are some dreams that I remember years later because of how beautiful they were, and how they made me feel. This would be a godsend if it works as well as the demo pictures show.
I could see tech like this being a big hit for illustrations for low-budget self-publish book.
Stock photos are all good but sometimes you really need a visual of Illiyana the dragon vampire arriving at the three-towered mountain citadel with two moons overhead, on a budget of $10 or less.
Bro, they are letting you literally doodle children’s art and create solid photo manipulations. This kind of stuff took at least some creativity by hobbyist photoshoppers.
Believe it or not, it took some effort to take random scenery and create a solid composition. Take my job sure, but Jesus, not my hobby too. Now these people will have to compete against AI scrubs.
the problem is demand for stock images. i m not sure the quality here is good enough, but there's no reason why image-generating ANNs won't keep getting better
but will it? my very limited experience with animation has been characterized by control: it's storytelling and creation where the creator is responsible for every fraction of a second. The value of this type of AI is in ceding control to an algorithm and letting it deal with the hard parts. My limited understanding is sort of pointing to a difference in goals of the two projects: one is for control, the other is for ease. And I don't think ease has a very stable place in animation.
though if anyone does know of problems this solves I'd love to hear about them, this is an incredibly cool solution.
