Love the optimism
Right now though the software for local generation is horrible. It's a mish-mash of open source stuff with varying compatibility loaded with casually excessive use of vernacular and acronyms. To say nothing of the awkwardness of it mostly being done in python scripts.
But once it gets inevitably cleaned up, I expect people in the future are going to take being able to generate unlimited, near instantaneous images, locally, for free, for granted.
I haven't seen the latest from adobe over the last three months, but last I saw the firefly engine was still focused on "magically" creating complete elements.
So far Adobe AI tools are pretty useless, according to many professional illustrators. With Firefly you can use other (non-Adobe) image generators. The output is usually barely usable at this point in time.
Same will happen to music, artists etc. They won't vanish. But only a few per city will be left
It’s like using gen. ai to do math instead of extracting the numbers from a story and just doing the math with +, -, / and *
It's like OpenAI is reducing to some sort of median face a little on all of these, whereas the other two models seemed to reproduce the face.
For some things, exactly reproducing the face is a problem -- for example in making them a glass etching, Gemini seemed unwilling to give up the specific details of the child's face, even though that would make sense in that context.
They noted the Gemini issue too:
