If you’re looking to take your photo-editing skills to the next level, there may be an AI-powered tool to help you out soon. A group of researchers from various institutions such as Google, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania, have created a new AI tool that allows users to quickly modify photos. The video demos of this tool posted on their page have created such an influx of excited aspiring users that the page keeps crashing.
What this tool can do is simply amazing. By simply dragging and pushing buttons, users can easily change the expressions, stance, orientation, and even the dimensions of any subject in a photo. For example, one of their videos showcases how the tool can make a dog stockier and open their maw, or adjust their demeanor and size. Furthermore, the researchers declared this AI tool will let people with little to no photoshop experience be able to interactively reshape any part of an image.
This tool is not the only of its kind, as a range of artificial intelligence-powered tools have been released to the public. For example, OpenAI has released DALL-E which can generate images. Others have come out as well. However, the importance and convenience of this new AI tool is emphasized by its popularity.
The research team behind this newfound tool have not yet openly shared it to the public yet, and did not respond to a request of comment when asked. But the potential of this AI tool is certainly exciting.
