AI Hustle: News on Open AI, ChatGPT, Midjourney, NVIDIA, Anthropic, Open Source LLMs: Adobe's Game-Changing AI Transforms Photo Editing

Welcome to the OpenAI podcast, the podcast that opens up the world of AI in a quick and

concise manner.

Tune in daily to hear the latest news and breakthroughs in the rapidly evolving world

of artificial intelligence.

If you've been following the podcast for a while, you'll know that over the last six

months I've been working on a stealth AI startup.

Of the hundreds of projects I've covered, this is the one that I believe has the greatest

potential.

So today I'm excited to announce AIBOX.

AIBOX is a no-code AI app building platform paired with the App Store for AI that lets

you monetize your AI tools.

The platform lets you build apps by linking together AI models like chatGPT, mid-journey

and 11 labs, eventually will integrate with software like Gmail, Trello and Salesforce

so you can use AI to automate every function in your organization.

To get notified when we launch and be one of the first to build on the platform, you

can join the wait list at AIBOX.AI, the link is in the show notes.

We are currently raising a seed round of funding.

If you're an investor that is focused on disruptive tech, I'd love to tell you more

about the platform.

You can reach out to me at jaden at AIBOX.AI, I'll leave that email in the show notes.

Adobe, of course, the global tech giant known for its design and creative software suite

is poised to revolutionize the digital imaging landscape at least that is what they're

telling us.

The company has teased an innovative AI driven photo editing tool called Project Stardust

and this is set to be unveiled in full at the Adobe Max event which I believe is happening

tomorrow.

I'm just giving you a quick heads up on what to expect.

The new quote unquote object aware editing engine which is named Project Stardust has

been the talk of I think the tech community after a promotional video was cited by Tech

Spa and it kind of gave a sneak peek into the capabilities.

I think what's really intriguing about this tool is its ability to automatically detect

and identify objects in photos.

So I think this offers users the flexibility to easily maneuver these objects within the

frame kind of mirroring functionality similar to Google's recently announced magic editor

for its latest pixel phones.

During this demo that they did, the software was super impressive and identified and highlighted

individual objects in a photo.

In one instance you know it was a yellow suitcase and it was including its shadow and

it was automatically selected as though it had been like really intricately outlined using

Photoshop's lasso tool if you've used Photoshop before you know this can be you know it could

take a lot of time to get this right.

The subsequent clip showcased the simplicity of moving or even deleting objects without

the backdrop or with the backdrop auto filling in to pretty much seamlessly match the scene

right.

And you're like okay delete this chair, delete this TV and it just automatically fills in

what would be there if that object wasn't there which is really really cool and at the same

time you can also grab the objects and move them around so it's like love the photo but

I wish that the table was like you know just a little bit to the right.

It's like honestly it's kind of crazy when you think about it and you think how far we've

come with photo editing because a lot of this you know had to be done pre-shot where you

had to have everything set up just perfect and then you know you do your family photos

and I don't know this person's eyes are closed or this person's not looking or whatever.

It appears that we're getting to a place where you pretty much just take a rough idea of

the image and everything could be edited after by pretty much anyone to a very high level

so this is really really interesting.

A feature to look forward to is something similar to the contextual taskbar that made

its debut in Photoshop recently so that this new dynamic taskbar is designed to predict

your next design move thereby expediting essentially the editing process so one demo

highlighted the software's ability by auto suggesting a quote you know remove distractions

button when a crowd was selected so it really efficiently kind of cleared the crowd as soon

as you selected it but I think it's not just about moving objects adobe's product

stardust seemingly integrates the advanced genera capabilities seen in their firefly

powered photoshop tools which is really cool so one of the things that I think was really

interesting in this whole promo video involved I a film on that's adobe's product manager

for digital imaging interacting with a floating taskbar prompt essentially she selected a

portion of an image and then pretty much had it like generate AI generated flowers inside

of that image another demonstration I think featured the model getting replaced by just

describing the does like desired clothing items so pretty much you there was like a model on

the screen wearing something and you're like okay make this model where like a you know

a polo shirt with pink flamingos on it and boom it was able to do that which is super

interesting right no you don't need to go and like outline the exact shapes or you know

it's crazy this is a super super crazy so they just have a text input you start with

an image and you just talk to it and tell it what you want to the point where I think

on this right you could just say like delete the red suitcase and boom it's gone so and

of course there's like different tools that you can manually do that especially if you

want to like kind of adjust where exactly on the screen the red suitcases but you can

do a lot of this all from the text input field which is incredibly interesting and not something

we've you know really ever seen or had the capabilities of doing before so very very

powerful adobe's teaser visuals of project of project start us I think kind of emphasize

the departure from the very tedious manual process which I personally am very very familiar

with growing up I was like I think Photoshop was kind of like my software I I tried a bunch

of different software growing up I tried like dream weaver for websites and I never quite

got into that and I really kind of kind of got stuck on Photoshop to the point where

actually it's probably a flock I know Photoshop really really well and a lot of things that

probably should be done in like adobe illustrator I still use Photoshop for and just do them

in a janky way so you know probably to a fault there but I know Photoshop very well and it

is definitely very tedious to do certain things on there I've watched more tutorials on Photoshop

than maybe any other software I don't know Premiere might give it a run for the money

but in any case it definitely I think it's due for an overhaul and this AI makes a massive

difference when it comes to editing photos in there and really like manipulating photos

to a very high level which is very very interesting I think in like instead of separating objects

into new layers users are offered a bit more of a streamlined and intuitive editing experience

now with this whole project stardust thing I think the rise of generative AI has definitely

spurred the development of these kind of automated design tools across the industry adobe is

not the only one doing this canva now has some you know offers some like it pretty much

has a bunch of similar different editing functions for easy object manipulation in images to

be honest if you see my podcast covers all of the the ones I do when I have a special

guest on and it's like me and the guest on the front cover and I kind of like cut out

the background I just do that all in canva they got like a one-click background removal

I don't have to select around anything and it's very very good Google photos magic editor

which is I think it's packaged with pixel 8 devices is also I think a fairly noteworthy

mention in this regard they do some cool things however I have film on suggests that what we've

glimpsed of project stardust is merely the tip of the iceberg the teaser features represent

just a fraction of the software's full capabilities according to them she also goes on to say that

this editing engine will quote revolutionize how we interact with adobe product so it's

going to be very interesting I would be super curious to see how this you know impacts like

premiere for example I'm editing video is that's a very tedious it can be a very tedious

task as well I think with you know well details surrounding this whole project stardust are

still like they're trying to keep it under wraps with big reveal tomorrow I think the

tech community is very interested definitely anticipating everything that's going to come

out and I think this whole event is going to be very very interesting to see what the

future of AI assisted photo editing is stay tuned because I'm sure when they drop the

announcement tomorrow I'll also be covering it if they have anything crazy that wasn't

kind of just in this video here in this podcast here but all in all a very interesting story

and I think adobe really is doing a great job of leading the way on some of these AI tools

and honestly doing them in a fairly responsible way if you are looking for an innovative and

creative community of people using chat gpt you need to join our chat gpt creators community

I'll drop a link in the description to this podcast we'd love to see you there where we

share tips and tricks of what is working in chat gpt it's a lot easier than a podcast

as you can see screenshots you can share and comment on things that are currently working

so if this sounds interesting to you check out the link in the comment we'd love to have

you in the community thanks for joining me on the open AI podcast it would mean the world

to me if you would rate this podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts and I'll see

you tomorrow
