I agree, this would be an incredible tool. I can see how some of the outputs may help me improve a piece I'm working on, even if I would never use the model's output for my final product.
It looks like a decent way to produce concept sketches.
Currently, working with creatives (including programmers) is a very iterative process for non-creatives.
"I want this."
"No, I meant this."
"Can we try making that line longer?"
"Eh, I'm not feeling it. Why don't we try brighter colors?"
"Ugh. That looks obnoxious. Can we tone down the red?"
etc.
If the non-creative can use this system to reduce that iteration, it will make life easier for them (maybe not for the creative, if they are banking on the hours doing the iterations).
Does SD have the ability to take this kind of micromanagement input though? From what I've seen, it works off of a general descriptive prompt. Will adding a very specific "but put the duck 5 pixels to the left" or a very vague "give it more pop" to the prompt actually have the intended effect?
honestly i feel the opposite. one of the worst situations to run into as a designer is a client who is simply too married to a bad design. i would much rather work with something you scribbled on the back of a napkin than than some highly rendered ai vomit that is just fundamentally shit.
