I wonder what would have happened if stablediffusion released itself as a really powerful web-based image editing tool, still offering but relatively de-emphasizing its "create things with a prompt from scratch" functionality.

Realistically, practical use cases are going to be AI+human mix for quite a while anyway.

Emad's plan was to start separate DAOs for the models they'll be releasing.

that's why we invested in the parent company, Stability AI when it first raised

Building a powerful tool takes years, and their strength is also in innovation, not consumer-end

My assumption is generative art requires an entirely new workflow, so editors are not trivial to build for them just yet
