Has anyone built the "online photoshop that incorporates all of the latest AI image editing tools asap and sells access as a premium subscription with lots of GPU access for smooth editing" business yet? I'd be curious to know.

Adobe Firefly already did it https://www.adobe.com/sensei/generative-ai/firefly.html

It's trained on their stock art and under-performs Stable Diffusion and Midjourney.

It's really poor, comparatively.

It makes way fewer visual mistakes (like wrong number of limbs) than Stable Diffusion, or even Bing Dall-E ~3. The latter is still the best at understanding your prompt though.

Adobe AI is a crap compared to Midjourney

Because one is on proper stock art and the other on anything without asking the creators for authorization?

Search on Twitter, the artists in the Adobe dataset are also livid (justifiably) because they didn't consent to their work being used for AI training. The Adobe license agreement is broad enough that Adobe is covered legally, but it isn't enthusiastic consent in any sense of the word. Many, many artists would never have submitted their work to Adobe if generative AI had been a known possibility, so using Adobe's product is really not any better at respecting creators' wishes.

So like two drunk people having sex and the law trying to figure out who consented

Midjourney is crap compared to stable diffusion with all the features in automatic1111

I think less effort has gone into image editing compared to image generation so far. That said, we're building some photo realistic image editing tools at https://www.faceshape.com, focused on face editing for now. Current models don't perform as well, but next generation currently under training will.

I'm always curious to know what kind of AI image editing people are interested in, can you share what kind of edits you'd like to do? There's the usual edits like background removal or object removal, but those are more general tools that are getting incorporated into lots of apps natively (say Google Photos).

Tried your app, I liked the product idea but think the execution could use much more work. Personally, I am obsessed with FaceApp’s filters. If you could make an app with even more interesting filters but with the same (or better) realistic quality, I’d definitely use it :)

Playground AI (https://playgroundai.com/) does a lot of this.

There are a million of these. It's a super crowded space.

(Many more)

They are all for image creation. I would love to have one to edit my photos.. not generate images from prompt.

https://ImageEditor.ai

You can edit your photos with the models and tools for image creation, because those tools can work on a source image (img2img, inpainting, outpainting) as well as just a prompt and blank canvas.

It would be cool if https://www.photopea.com supported those types of AI manipulation plugins.

Isn't that stability.ai's business model?

I like the direction of github.com/invoke-ai/. It isn't a business but an open source project.
