The TextFX Project

Don&#x27;t miss the YouTube video with Lupe Fiasco [0]. The cynic in me says that this might be all marketing; I would be curious to know if he&#x27;s actually using LLMs regularly to write songs.<p>So many people think AI will entirely replace artists, writers, creatives, etc. but I increasingly believe that (for the foreseeable future) we&#x27;re just giving these folks a new set of superior tools. Taste still matters. Being able to ask the right questions still matters.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=yYp18JAvKkQ">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=yYp18JAvKkQ</a>

I gotta be honest on first viewing the site I was expecting it to be generative AI for animated text treatments (a la After Effects) instead of LLM text modification.

Code: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;google&#x2F;generative-ai-docs&#x2F;tree&#x2F;main&#x2F;demos&#x2F;palm&#x2F;web&#x2F;textfx#readme">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;google&#x2F;generative-ai-docs&#x2F;tree&#x2F;main&#x2F;demos...</a>

The branding is very not Google but actually very cool. I hope they move towards a more fun, colorful, edgy style.

This feels more like a tool that arrests creativity before it can even put its shoes on.

Weird how no one noticed this like 10 days ago... did Google not promote it?<p>(Well almost no one <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=37044844">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=37044844</a>)

Trying the fuse feature, seemed the most interesting:<p>&gt; spaghetti ≈ trumpet<p>&gt; Both spaghetti and a trumpet can be difficult to eat without making a mess—spaghetti with its long, slippery noodles, and a trumpet with its wide, flared bell.<p>ok google

Fun to play with.<p>Bug report: input field in the demo doesn&#x27;t behave like normal, I can type but autocorrect and autocomplete doesn&#x27;t work. Probably just listening to key presses, no idea why you would do that though.

My CPU immediately jumped to 50% usage and 65C with a 360mm AIO. The culprit I think is that vertical scrolling text because usage drops when I scroll down.
