Thank you for taking the time to provide the video and a compelling explanation. I’m going to reread what you’ve written several times and watch the video.
Ninety-nine percent of the work I do is text-based, so it will be a change for me to create illustrations to clarify and deepen my thinking. I use illustrations and images in my presentations, but have not done so as an aid to my own thinking. Your comments are timely as I’m wrestling through deep reading on AI and its implications for education, partly out of professional curiosity, but also owing to the urgency of preparing several workshops on AI in education to be delivered in February.
The Apple Pages implementation of Image Playground is more comprehensive than the one in MindNode. You have the ability to modify various image parameters, such as saturation, exposure, color temperature, and background removal. Additionally, you can add titles, captions, shadows, and frames. It will be interesting to see how other applications utilize Image Playground.
That’s really helpful Chris. I had no idea that image playground could be used inside apps like MindNode. I played around (in MindNode Next) and it is a lot clunky, but then when I discovered I could use image playground as a seperate app, and drag (or copy/paste) images from it into MindNode it got a lot easier. It works in other apps - pages etc - too.
I’m adding my comment here because I mistakenly thought that the only way to use it was to start with a person’s photo. That was the impression I got from apple’s onboarding.
I find that adding images to documents (like you did) makes my mind sparkle a little bit more!
I was not aware of that, but I suspect that drawing hands is difficult. Of course, any drawing for me is difficult. I can barely make a passable stick man.
What would have been neat, and useful for me, if it could create 5k abstract wallpapers. Something where you could kind of guide and shape it. Of course that would probably get old too unless they provided a lot of different artistic styles.
(I am aware their apps that sort of do this now, I had one on iPad, but they aren’t AI based, so are limited.)
Interesting. I tried to get it to remove my glasses (from the generated image, above) and it wouldn’t do it! Then I took a photo of myself with my glasses off, put it in Image Playground, and got images with both no glasses and glasses without giving it any instructions. It’s like it recognized me and figured I needed to wear glasses.
