New Apple AI Model Edits Images Based on Natural Language Input

[G5isAlive]

Sure AI can produce great images, no denying that, but they seem to lack the soul of the artist (human) behind them. Telling it to lighten and increase contrast ... then AI is the artist. When I take photoshop in my hand and tweak to exactly what is right to me, then I am the artist. Does that make a hill of beans of difference? Might to the artist. Not sure to the consumer. And if it doesnt to the consumer, the artist is SOL.

Still seems to have the same struggles with generating realistic human faces.

Siri - ENHANCE!

This type of stuff is what gets me excited for AI. A lot of the stuff that Microsoft has proposed is similar in concept but applies to their own software. As someone who spends most of his day wrangling data in Excel for his day job the idea that I could tell Excel, in plain language, what I want it to do is genuinely exciting and would significantly increase my work output.

Its a bit strange we're saying an iPhone has limited memory when the pro range has as much as entry level Macbook pros. I get the general idea, but its not like we're talking a major difference in memory availability.

iOS 18 is going to be exciting!

Siri - ENHANCE!

CSI - zoom and enhance.

Where can I test it out? I really, really want to try out🙂 "zoom and enhance". 🙂🕶️ YEAH!😎

Any graphics artist who directly deals with clients seriously think AI will be able to "interpret" what a client wants when it comes to art work?🤔

Can people really specify what they want clearly enough that AI can create the image they want? My retired art director brother, who worked for Continential Airlines and before that freelanced, scoffs at the idea.

Black Mirror is becoming more and more like reality.

I admit I don't use Instagram as much as I like to, but judging from Facebook and Reddit, social media is very much already plagued my numerous AI scams + fake news. Which is easy to notice now when you pay close attention, but sooner or later, when everyone uses AI, it will be nearly unstoppable when most of us will be desensitized. As if pictures and videos aren't fake enough as is, the problem will just get worse from here.

Sooooo, does this mean the end of limited language list for Siri if Apple indeed wants to compete with or surpass ChatGPT which can detect and respond in any language?

Here we go people! Hold on to your hats, it’s judgement day! #skynet

I've played with AI. I don't worry about it taking over anytime soon. It can't even complete simple tasks.

Yeah, I was thinking something similar.
Things like "brighten a lot" - how much is "a lot"? That seems very subjective.
"Add lightning" - where, how bright, how thick?

Those are things that imho would be easier to do by hand. Unless the user really doesn't care or it's for something like idea generation. There is a certain value in randomness.

Then again, I would hope that this sort of thing can still be manually adjusted so I remain in control of the end result.

I tried that demo several times and it didn't get it right once. not even close. oh well. ..

actually its long been a truism in AI that a toddler can do simple tasks better than AI, but AI can nail it on the more complicated. there is reason to worry if you aren't a toddler

Apple is routinely late to the party, but usually when they arrive they make a splash. They did it with iPhone. Apple Watch. They're seemingly making a splash with Vision Pro, even though I'm completely uninterested in it.

I hope Apple's latest AI ambitions are excellent, and we can finally make full use of these "Neural Engines" that they've been including for years without telling us why we need them. And I hope that Apple's AI ambitions are light years better than Siri. Because I barely even use Siri for anything these days. Except for controlling search on the Apple TV Youtube app. Or for skipping thru commercials on recorded programs on the Youtube TV app. She does those discrete things well.

So even Apple isn’t immune to evil, what a disappointment

 

[starryknight]

And yet even then we won’t be able to ask Siri, “Turn on kitchen lights and set to 35% and light blue.”

“Play my subscriptions for YouTube on AppleTV.”

Good grief, even just “Delete, delete, delete” on dictated typos would probably tide me over for the next 6-12 months. Why it works on AppleTV and not anything else is still unfathomable to me…

 

[Octavius8]

How about removing the camera then?.
“Siri, Make a photo of my with my dog on top of the Eiffel Tower. I don’t have a dog, so create one that suits my style. Also give long hair Slash style, covering my bald patch in the 80% of my head”.

How about “correct a mistyped number in the dial pad”. Nope. Too hard and Useless.

Make a foldable iPhone that is identical to a Chinese phone, only with Apple logo and make the marketing material stating that we make the best foldable iphone ever.

Replace Tim’s Apple Watch in the photo with a Samsungs watch. —-forbidden. Phone overheats.

This is Apple's second breakthrough in AI research in as many months. In late December, Apple revealed that it had made strides in deploying large language models (LLMs) on iPhones and other Apple devices with limited memory by inventing an innovative flash memory utilization technique.

Is it really a breakthrough? This is something many other companies have been doing for years. And the first breakthrough... It's just a research paper. There are hundreds of those published monthly.

Fails at plenty of complex tasks. What "AI" does is bring brute force compute power to a task, but the results of brute forcing are that tasks are completely very quickly but the trade off is ugliness, errors and instability. It requires a lot of guidance and hand holding to keep "AI" on track and behave properly. That's why you see Instruct variants of chat models that differ from the generic model. Even those Instruct variants are far from perfect.

Don't be mislead by Instagrammers and YouTubers. The stuff they post are cherry picked because if they showed all the errors, crashes and mistakes they would have less followers, less click bait, less sensationalism. Probably well over 80% of AI output is so embarrassing it isn't worth posting and it just wastes electricity and silicon.

There's a long line of testers so if you do upload an image to try it takes about 10 minutes to process. The result was really bad. The PDF isn't that impressive. The 'healthy pizza' example looks like a plastic toy pizza.

This. As one other poster stated that AI had trouble with numbers, i.e. "remove one cake", the issue is not whether the AI can do it, it's whether the instruction is clear--which cake, for instance?
