> One other thing I haven’t mentioned is image generation. Is this part of a chatbot product, or a tool in itself? Frankly, I think AI image generation is still more of a toy than a product, but it’s certainly seeing a ton of use. There’s probably some fertile ground for products here, if they can successfully differentiate themselves from the built-in image generation in ChatGPT. This guy is so LLM-biased that he's missing the entire media gen ecosystem. I feel like image, video, music, voice, and 3D generation are a much bigger deal than text. Text and code are mundane compared to rich signals. These tools are production ready today and can accomplish design, marketing, previz, concept art, game assets, web design, film VFX. It's incredibly useful. As a tool. Today. Don't sleep on generative media.

  Hope you don't mind the unsolicited feedback - ComfyUI-inspired node graphs are the wrong approach for visual media. Nodes are great for the 1% of artists that get into it, but you really need to build the Adobe / Figma of image and video tools. Not Unreal Engine Blueprint / ComfyUI spaghetti. ShaderToy and TouchDesigner and Comfy are neat toys, but they're not what the majority of people will use. We want to mold ideas like clay. Watch the demos Adobe just gave from their conference two weeks ago. That's what you should build. Something artists and designers and creatives intuit as an extension of themselves. Not a mathematical abacus.

    yes agree, and that has been my learning as well.in the current version of the product, the end user does not need to know about the nodes and other complexity, instead can use various mini apps/agents without knowing about any ai model, example fashion tryon mini app https://www.flickspeed.ai/agents/fashion-tryon--6901b82047f34938ad1c9de7 https://www.flickspeed.ai/agents/fashion-tryon--6901b82047f3...

Exactly. And the author seems to have missed that media generation is arguably the purest demonstration of agentic potential outside of coding. Modern tools like Krea or Magnific are no longer just "enter prompt, get image", it's an iterative multi-step dialogue with the system where you're controlling composition, upscaling details, and inpainting - that is the agentic work he's talking about; it just operates on pixels instead of code
