AI-based Tools Are Now Being Used for Design of Commercial Interiors and Consumer Products

AUSTIN, Texas - May 23, 2024 - PRLog -- AI software companies announced significant new product upgrades last week.

OpenAI, of which Microsoft is a major investor, presented GPT 4o, the newest version of their breakthrough ChatGPT generative AI tool, which claims to integrate synthetic video and image generation with its chat prompt functionality.

Not to be outdone, the following day, Google introduced major updates to its Gemini AI tools, including integration into many Google productivity apps, such as Gmail, Docs, and Slides, as well as a preview of an AI-powered "teammate" dubbed Project Astra. Google is also stepping into the synthetic video generation arena with VideoFX, a tool based on Google DeepMind's Veo video generator to compete with OpenAI's Sora.

Can Large Language Models And Other AI Tools Create Architectural And Product Designs?

While most business users may be more focused on the text generation capabilities of GPT-based AI software, professionals in the creative industries, such as architects, interior designers, and product/industrial designers, have been busy assessing how to approach generative AI tools that produce images and video, and how they could be integrated into their design workflow – if at all.

Some of the key products in this synthetic imagery generation space are:

Stable Diffusion (Stability AI)
DALL-E 3 (OpenAI)
Midjourney
Mistral AI
How do these tools create new imagery?

In a word, today's generative AI tools don't create imagery from scratch, instead, they synthesize new images based on snippets of millions of individual images they have been trained on.

For example, if you use Stable Diffusion (or one of the more specialized AEC products, such as InteriorAI, which uses Stable Diffusion internally), you are actually pulling imagery from a huge catalog of images, known as a Large Language Model (LLM). One of the models that Stable Diffusion relies on is called LAION.
