Real time Generative AI | Krea.AI (still free)

Here is an interesting one. I found that combining shapes, prompts, images with a real time output gives the impression of much more control that tools like vizcom where you have to wait for a while to see the result. I wonder what do you think of this? Is it near the end for traditonal photoship photobashing?

Hey Jakub, thanks for sharing this update! It looks quite powerful and the realtime component definitely sets it apart from other ai tools. I can see how this is beneficial if you are crafting an image - when the image is the end product. At the same time I am not sure how helpful this is in the kind of sketching that I do when I am designing products - when the sketch is the vehicle for thought. I often find unexpected clues in the ambiguity of my own sketches. A misinterpreted line can suddenly evolve into a character line. I'm sure the AI ill present me with similar interpretations of my scribbles, but having a permanent 'translator' actively interpreting my sketches could also become very distracting and possibly annoying. I will need to try it out and maybe the experience will prove me wrong.

Did you try that already? Design sketching in Krea?

I poked around a bit but not too much. For more complex geometry it's still not great. I wouldn't use it for rendering... However, It's much better for early exploration than any other tool I used before (other than a white piece of paper) especially if connected to a drawing tablet - rapid concept variation, mood boards and storyboards - that kind of thing.

Adjusting the prompt influence and your drawing influence and having immediate feedback is a big step forward for these tools IMO. Im curious what you come up with when you give it a try! And ill definitely share if I get some interesting results;)
