Phoronix: Krita Looking More At GPU Acceleration & AI In 2024

The Krita open-source graphics editor and digital art program is looking at possibly adding some AI features to its arsenal as well as possible GPU acceleration and other new features in 2024...

Would the assistive ML make use of the local ML acceleration in for example zen4, and if not what use is the hardware otherwise?

Brush performance seems fine on desktop but poor on Android. But maybe it's something different what is slowing down Krita on this mobile platform.

Responsible use of such technologies is best lead by FOSS, looking forward to what they will end up with!

Embrace the AI, software is just a tool, they should just provide necessary tools, and whatever users are making is not something they should concern about.

The "assistive AI" is definitely a plus. I can see a lot of occasions where it could really accelerate a repetitive job.

Loving this responsible way of thinking. What data is it trained on?

Definitely. I'd get a lot of use out of an AI that could do things like removing or replacing foreground and background elements, act as a smarter fuzzy select, to do what enhance button on CSI does with lower quality images, aligning and stacking multiple shots, etc. I'm thinking about this from a digital photography perspective, not as an artist.

Open source libraries in a nutshell.
