    I work in this space: you can use it to mock up commercial developments, changes in land use, etc., to see what it would look like. Somewhat useful when presenting rather dry architectural diagrams into realistic looking scenes.

    Now, why it was broadly opened to the public is unclear to me other than being a flex?

      Fair, but aren’t there better solutions for this already?

        Depends on how you define “better.” You can generate many variants of a scene this way, at night say, or in snowy conditions. You can mock up emergency response situations. It’s part of the story you’re telling but not a straight up replacement.

          I suppose better in this case means accurate.

          Unless you just need the image to be off to the side of a PowerPoint presentation and no one’s really supposed to pay any attention to it I can’t really see how I could rely on an AI to produce an output that I want.
