Microsoft Designer
- throwoutway 4y agoI almost ignored this until I realized they baked DALL-E2 into it directly and it will "generate in seconds". That really surprised me. I suspected it'd be a while until it was integrated into any design tools.
- user_named 4y agoIt only took a week or two until Stable Diffusion was in Figma and Photoshop
- throwoutway 4y agoI missed that too then
- cercatrova 4y agoWell, Microsoft did invest over 1 billion into OpenAI.
- aliswe 4y ago*In Azure credits, iirc, so not cash fwiw.
- themodelplumber 4y agoWild guess: PhotoDraw 2000 + New Interface + AI. :-) How far off target am I? PhotoDraw 2000 was pretty fun back in the day. You could make metal chains in mere seconds! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZa7ODRAyxA&t=46s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZa7ODRAyxA&t=46s
- exodust 4y ago"A grumpy koala wearing a robe, holding a goblet". Very high brow design there Microsoft. How about a "distressed, singed koala fleeing summer bushfires and heatwaves"? Designers are not teenagers wanting to make funny LOLs for maximum Likes. They're often making serious contributions, factual content, scientific campaigns, environmental awareness etc. But if I ever need a "bicycle with wings flying through a cloud of marshmallow" I'll give your app a go.
- m00x 4y ago? I'm not sure what the meme is here. They're just demonstrating the Dall-E integration.
- exodust 4y agoThey're demonstrating a product called "Microsoft Designer". Why are you looking for a meme?
- weird-eye-issue 4y agoYou're the meme
- weird-eye-issue 4y agoYou take yourself way too seriously
- exodust 4y agoSounds interesting, tell me more about me. I'm interested in the ethics of AI generated "design" and the decision to demonstrate the features with sad looking images of koalas holding goblets. No design to be found there, only gimmicks failing at substituting design. "But it's all just a bit of fun" says weird-eye. Thanks for nothing.
- andygh 4y agoThat video is very interesting because it looks like it's implying a business could/should be advertising a product generated with AI. This is, at best, unethical and, at worst, illegal.
- darkcha0s 4y agoCare to elaborate? How would a bakery using AI generated images of bread be any different than McDonalds or Burger King advertising highly photoshopped / fake products?
- 1123581321 4y agoThe main difference is those restaurants photograph their real products. Even though they use top tier food prep, lighting, camera work and editing for the shoot, they’ve shown the thing you’re ordering and it’s theoretically achievable by the local store. I’m sure it’s possible to tune an AI to work within similar constraints but I haven’t seen that to exist yet. (You can shoot hundreds of photos of a chicken sandwich for much less money than trying to create one.)
- wkearney99 4y agoYou are sadly naive if you think food shown in advertising is anywhere near close to the real thing. Faking both the appearance of the actual ingredients and using entirely different analogues. Shaving cream instead of whipped cream being one of the more obvious examples.
- 1123581321 4y agoI've been to or helped plan many food photoshoots for national and regional brands. They aren't done like they were 20-40 years ago.
- atonse 4y agoI remember reading that (at least in some countries) food marketing is regulated and requires you to use the same ingredients and quantities as the real food. Doesn’t mean someone won’t lovingly make that McDonald’s burger patty and pick the most beautiful color corrected piece of lettuce, but it’s still real.
