do we really need to add AI to everything?
- bhouston 2y agoThese 4 features are AI related but each of them have separate strong use cases. Looking at popular commercial tools like Adobe Photoshop and Topaz tools for inspiration is just logical -- it means there is clear demand for these features among users.
- Twirrim 2y ago> it means there is clear demand for these features among users. No, it just means executives want to add AI to things. So many of these "But with AI" are not lead by customers but by executives wanting to make sure their product isn't seen as behind the times.
- garbagewoman 2y agoDo you have anything to back up that blanket statement?
- ascorbic 2y agoThe knee-jerk dismissal of all AI features is as bad as the pointless addition of AI features. Some AI features are pointless, some AI features are useful. Segmenting, generative fill, object removal, AI scaling are all examples of really useful AI-assisted features.
- bhouston 2y agoYeah, the anti-AI responses I got to this seem to come from people who don't actually need to use GIMP to do real world tasks, but they are sure vocal in their opinions as to the direction that tool should go. Hilarious.
- danmur 2y agoThat isn't always true, there's plenty of times where companies push features that users don't want. No Chrome users have been clamouring for more ads and more invasive tracking, for example.

- mattl 2y agoI really hope open source/free software doesn’t get a bunch of AI nonsense added to it just to satisfy some KPI somewhere.
- bhouston 2y agoI'm a user of GIMP who wants those features, not a KPI driver...
