I like this idea. Keep more people from seeking out the deepfake-capable options by offering them something good enough for their needs… if only we could keep nefarious misinfo-spreaders from using deepfake altogether. We remain on the cusp of the unwinding of being able to trust any news from anywhere.
Sure but it's also crippling. The modern software company is scared of their shadow. You can use a camera to make dirty pictures. Imagine if all photo companies decided they had to review all your photos. Pencil companies dont censor your drawings. It's crazy but thats how the big companies treat AI abilities. Lots of cool things people enjoy....probably by far a net positive...are crippled or disabled because they are afraid someone is going to bother to make something they dont like. The censoring with AI is not accepted in any other medium.
It takes enormous amounts training data to develop generative AI models. Processing on device, limited to only data on device, means a slower rollout of additional styles, especially if Apple is very early to the generative AI race and does not plan to warehouse user data.
I'm with you! I've been a designer and illustrator for 30+ years. I'm amazed at how many people are ok with art theft. I just want to know where NOT to post my art.
Apple didn't need to decide to put this garbage on their OS by default, but they chose to give in to the greed of cashing in on a harmful trend rather than be more responsible.
What do you prefer about it? Genuinely what is preferable about any of this to the creative expression of real human beings?
I mean that if I seek to create my own AI-generated art, I prefer photo-realistic results, not the cartoonish looking models Apple demoed today. I likely won't use the Genmoji unless they look more like me in reality.
It turns out I'm a real human being. Even before AI came out it was often easier to make what I wanted myself rather than endlessly search Google images. Even with AI elements, I still end up doing more work fixing and collaging in Pixelmator than prompting in the AI generator. But it is a big help.
I don't claim to be a real creative. I claim to be someone who wishes to visually represent himself as close to realistically as possible. I cannot express myself the way I wish with Apple's restrictive limitations (sarcasm).
I actually came to the camera conclusion doing a profound moment of thought in the shower ha.That is what the camera is for.
I want to make things that never existed. AI on it's own is basically a better stock photo library, with similar frustrations and lack of control. But add a photo editor and collage skills, and now you can do unique things.
What would be really powerful is if you could control AI more like CGI - dragging poses and pointing eyes where you want. Trying to control images with just text is like dancing about architecture.
