AI Startup Rolls Out ‘Frames’ Tool, Makes Artists Everywhere Feel Woefully Inadequate
In a bold display of technological wizardry, the AI startup Runway has introduced a new image model called ‘Frames,’ which promises to transform anyone with a keyboard into a digital Rembrandt—assuming, of course, you’re into hyperrealistic landscapes with retro anime aesthetics. The tool, which comes complete with its own specialized “World” environments, is sure to have traditional artists rethinking the value of their fine arts degrees.
In the ever-competitive world of image generation, Runway’s rollout of ‘Frames’ has caused an uproar, sending shivers down the spines of rival startups who are now contemplating their life choices. Early users of ‘Frames’ report being able to manipulate photorealistic images with a flick of their fingers, effectively turning Photoshop into a relic of the past.
“Finally, I’ve found a way to ignore my parents’ advice about a stable career path and still make a living,” said one enthusiastic beta tester. “Thanks to ‘Frames,’ I can now produce images that look like they belong in a museum, all while in my pajamas.”
Runway, apparently not satisfied with merely revolutionizing visual artistry, has hinted at expanding its Gen-3 Alpha platform with even more capabilities like scaling video content around existing clips. Because, let’s face it, creating a mind-bending, cinema-quality film without leaving your couch is every millennial’s dream.
While the tech world buzzes over this latest innovation, traditional artists are left pondering their existence. “It’s like, why even bother mastering the brushstroke now?” lamented one dejected painter. “Maybe I should just let AI paint my sunsets and I can focus on, I don’t know, trying to feel things?”
So as ‘Frames’ makes its splash, one thing is clear: in this brave new world of digital artistry, anyone can be an artist—as long as they’re comfortable sacrificing the tactile joys of paint under their fingernails for a touchscreen and a Wi-Fi connection. Step aside, Picasso; the bots have entered the chat.
