As an (housing) architect this is simultaneously amazing and terrifying.

In some way, stable diffusion works like the architect mind that has seen more kitchens (in this case) than the average person and somehow (consciously or unconsciously) proposes a solution based on that. Our edge - for now - is knowing what is feasible/economical.

that is super cool you are in that industry, any thoughts on a tool that assists interior design teams/architects on this kind of ideation?
It has the potential to retire the average salaryman in the creativity field (not just interior design teams/architects but specially UI/web designers). Outliers will be outliers and choosing one may give the client an edge but the average creative may not do much better than this "AI" and as such loose the ability to put bread on the table doing "creative" work.
As someone in my field (radiology) has put: It's not that doctors will be replaced by AI, doctors using AI will replace those who do not.
Do you think it's gonna be a tool used by these "average teams" or like a standalone self-serve product without any service human involved? I'd bet on a former, but why do you think?
One thing I'd say as a UI/Web designer is that often you are responding to a unique set of requirements to a specific brand / use case / functionality. I can 100% see how tools like this will influence and redefine the idea phase of a project but at the moment I can't see how it will make the leap from something that looks like a fuzzy representation of an end product to something that IS the end product.
outliers don’t always start out as outliers though, it’s a skill that needs development usually
