Really good article I read today. I was already impressed by the first hype of image generators but since haven’t informed myself much. They got really good lately apparently. I can’t decide if I am concerned or impressed. Do you think this would actually be used for something other than memes and misinformation? I thought I might share it and hear your opinions.

      That’s a very good point! I never thought about the power of removing things. Would be nice to see it save photos that are out of focus, in a bad perspective or with a finger over half of the selfie.

        I like using the magic eraser for photos of my daughter and being able to remove other kids and send it to the rest of the family or frame it.

      This feature already exists, it’s called Magic Eraser and it’s on most Pixel phones. I feel this is something different and needs to be considered differently.

        Yeah, it can do other stuff, I was simply stating a use-case I consider valid. Doesn’t matter that others have come up with the feature before. This is presumably better at detecting the object and removing / replacing it.
