My favorite Star Trek episode has always been "Identity Crisis". Not because it's one of the good ones, it's pretty clunky. But it contains a fantastic 5-7 minute long montage featuring Geordi La Forge interacting with computers (by touch, voice and on the holodeck) to solve a murder mystery, analyzing and live-manipulating 3D "holo footage" to discover a vital clue. Whoever imagined that sequence is the hero of my childhood and perhaps the reason I became a software engineer, doing an oddball mix of HMI and systems engineering.
There's so much in that sequence. The free mixing of different input modes, the complementary collaboration between a human and an AI system, carrying state with you from room to room. Analyzing and generating. Following instructions and making suggestions. Powerful inference, precision of control.
We're getting close now!
By the way, I am still using SD 1.5 inpainting.ckpt - thank you Runway for releasing it, it's perfect for my needs and abilities. I never even tried SD 2 and later ones - heard they worked completely differently and I'm too busy creating to be relearning.
