AI-based image and code generation tools

Published: May 1, 2023, 9 p.m.

Kerri and Ash play with AI!

Image generation

First up, our co-hosts look at text-to-font and text-to-image capabilities of these tools:

  • Adobe Firefly
  • Midjourney
  • Stable Diffusion

You can see all of the images we mention in this Mastodon thread.

Code generation

Next up, code-generation tools like GitHub Copilot, GitHub Copilot for Docs, and ChatGPT get a look.

Here's the Adobe UXP plugin code that was generated (notice the sweet, sweet use of Papyrus):

```

const { executeAsModal } = require("photoshop").core;

const { LayerKind } = require("photoshop").constants;

async function main() {

  try {

    await executeAsModal(async () => {

      const activeDocument = require("photoshop").app.activeDocument;

      const textLayers = activeDocument.layers.filter(layer => layer.kind === LayerKind.TEXT);

      await Promise.all(textLayers.map(async layer => {

        layer.textItem.characterStyle.font = "Papyrus";

        await layer.textItem.convertToParagraphText();

      }));

    });

  } catch (err) {

    console.log(err);

  }

}

```
