Midjourney's AI Editing: Photoshop on Steroids?
Midjourney's stepping up its AI game with new image editing tools that'll make your photos do the cha-cha. Upload any pic and watch as AI transforms colors, textures, and angles faster than you can say "Photoshop who?" But hold your horses, ethical concerns are galloping in. To keep things kosher, they're rolling out gradually with extra moderation. Meanwhile, Midjourney's ditching its Discord-only club for a swanky web interface. Will this be a game-changer or just another AI fever dream? Only time (and a few billion pixels) will tell.

Apple's AI Photo Dilemma: Reality vs. Fantasy
Apple's diving into the AI photo editing pool, but they're treading carefully. While competitors are gleefully adding lions and bombs to pics, Apple's new "Clean Up" feature in iOS 18.1 is more like a digital lint roller – removing pesky background objects without going full Photoshop fever dream. Apple's software chief, Craig Federighi, admits they had "a lot of debates" about even this modest step. The company's worried about turning photos into "fantasy" and eroding trust in visual reality. So, they're tagging edited images and adding metadata to flag alterations. It's like putting a "contains nuts" warning on your vacation snapshots. Welcome to the brave new world of AI-assisted reality!

Elon Musk's xAI is rolling out a new plaything for developers: the Grok API. Now you can sprinkle some Musk-flavored AI into your apps, assuming your wallet can handle it.

For the low, low price of your firstborn child, you too can access millions of tokens of pure Muskian wisdom. Will Grok revolutionize AI, or is it just another shiny distraction in Elon's techno-playground? Only time (and a hefty credit limit) will tell.

Canva's AI Makeover: More Magic, Higher Price Tag
Canva's giving its design platform an AI facelift, rolling out a souped-up text-to-image generator called "Dream Lab". Born from their Leonardo.ai acquisition, it promises to outshine their current offering with better photorealism and multi-subject prowess. But wait, there's more! They're sprinkling AI fairy dust on everything from whiteboards to video editing. The cherry on top? A price hike for business users. Because nothing says "expanded product experience" like paying more for incremental upgrades you didn't ask for. At least your presentations will have fancy charts now. Yay, progress?
