From the title, I thought Procreate was coming out with another crappy stable diffusion-derived AI image generator. Thank god that's not the case. Very excited for this.

It’s sad to see blanket statements like this. Stable Diffusion can be an extraordinarily powerful tool for creatives.

I know two professional artists who both hated the concept of AI image generators. But since Photoshop added Generative Fill, I know both have enjoyed using it, and I’ve not heard another complaint since.

I’d bet Procreate add AI capabilities sooner or later. Once you’ve tried it in Photoshop, it’s impossible to look back.

that's true, but is quite daunting that all tech art software are implementation of AI image generation, mainly low effort implementations of existing models, is quite rare seeing big announcement in art that isn't AI copycats of features this year.
FWIW, I was thinking in terms of a conception-timing app.
Thankfully, they're already made their stance on AI clear on Twitter https://twitter.com/Procreate/status/1661210079360700417?lan...
That’s exactly what the name made me think as well, and I was a little confused trying to interpret the page in light of that. This really looks like an amazing app, though.
I had the exact same thoughts here ...

"Oh man, procreate AI?" "oh ... wait, this is kinda neat"
