  Feels like a moodboarding multiplier for some design disciplines, if these aren't cherry-picked / transfer to other domains.

  Pretty interesting.

  Seems like you could apply similar ideas to text too.

  This looks like an excellent step towards being able to apply consistency to generated images across a series.

  “Code coming soon” from Google means basically never.

  I don’t understand why they keep making these announcements and then just sitting on the results.

  This is an immediately commercially useful product even as an API. You could make a mobile app for kids to “create their own cartoon story”.

  Someone else will have to reproduce this for it to see the light of day.

  My eyes are so tired... I read it as "TolkienVerse" (wishful thinking took over actual letters I guess) and I thought WOW!!!!! that is amazing!!!! When I clicked and saw "a dog wearing a hat".. uff...

  Seems good tool for automated PowerPoint generation but I believe the content is much more important.

  So why not automate the attachment of images to concentrate on the more important tasks? I hope the code will be available soon!

  Looks like it lets you transfer textures, poses, and general "vibe of object" stuff, but still doesn't let you control composition.

  Overall the example images still look like overly corporate slop.

  Storytelling with characters is a huge selling point

  If it worked with people, they’d show people.
