This is still rehashing the same concepts/ideas in circulation not producing novel ones nor innovating in this space. Maybe it will prove beneficial for rapid prototyping during the ideation stage for mass-market products/services in the commercial/residential remodeling industry but nothing revolutionary.

Seems like a valid point, but aren’t 99.999% of kitchen remodels rehashing the same ideas and concepts in circulation? 99.999% of clothes? 99.999% of furniture?

  This wasn't a value judgement BTW. I acknowledged the valid and productive use cases for this project but pointed out that it wasn't revolutionary in creativity or innovation at this stage. For me, it looks like Pinterest on steroids, very capable and efficient but not mind-blowing or out of this world.

> This is still rehashing the same concepts/ideas in circulation not producing novel ideas or innovating in this space. That's exactly what the average creative professional does. As an anecdote, being intellectually honest, most of the architects I know (and I know many as an housing architect myself), would not do better than this tool does now - "creatively" speaking - let alone in the future.

  I'm also curious how non-novel this is. Ie if A and B are both pre-existing individually, A+B might still be reasonably novel. Which may be a bad thing honestly. This will do some things where a seasoned designer would avoid for a technical limitation. Ie A and B shouldn't be combined for some logical reason, where as maybe StableDiff would just throw pieces together without care. But still, StableDiff has been amazing in my view. Prototyping anything this quickly is going to be a game changer. As someone who doesn't think in pictures well, this looks to let me mock things up so incredibly well. I am so hyped for the refinement of the tooling in this space.

Novel innovative kitchens are not something people want. They want it to be a kitchen.
