Recently, developer scraed released LanPaint on GitHub, a zero-shot image inpainting tool. This tool aims to help users achieve high-quality image inpainting results on any Stable Diffusion (SD) model, including custom-trained models. LanPaint achieves this by iteratively prompting the model to 'think' before denoising, resulting in more seamless and accurate inpainting. A key feature of LanPaint is its zero-shot capability; users can start using it immediately without any training.

Baidu AI's Wenxin Yiyuan AI painting technology has received a major upgrade, now supporting one-click generation of images in multiple aspect ratios, greatly simplifying the image preparation process for new media. The professional version of Wenxin Yiyuan AI painting technology allows users to input the desired image aspect ratio, and the system can automatically generate images in multiple sizes, covering various needs within a width-to-height ratio of 2:1. For example, simply adding the aspect ratio term '3:4' to the prompt will prompt the system to generate images of the corresponding size. This technology not only improves work efficiency but also enhances visual effects, significantly benefiting new media.

At an auction in New York, a painting created by a humanoid robot was successfully sold for $1.08 million (approximately £566,000, AU$1,630,000), making it the first piece of robot art to be sold at auction. The painting, titled "A.I. God. Portrait of Alan Turing," depicts the famous mathematician Alan Turing and stands 2.2 meters (7.5 feet) tall, exceeding pre-auction estimates of $120,000 to $180,000.

AI painting is a revolutionary image generation technology based on deep learning algorithms, particularly Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and diffusion models. This approach analyzes vast amounts of image data to learn and simulate human painting techniques, thereby creating entirely new visual works. AI painting not only captures and reproduces the complex details of the real world accurately but also blends different artistic styles, showcasing astonishing creativity and imagination. The core of this technology lies in transforming abstract textual descriptions into concrete visual expressions.

In recent years, non-destructive imaging technology has made rapid advancements in the field of painting research and preservation. Among these, macro X-ray fluorescence (MA-XRF) analysis stands out, helping experts identify pigments and analyze painting techniques, providing valuable insights into the artist's creative process. However, MA-XRF technology generates large and complex datasets that challenge traditional data analysis methods. Recently, Italian researchers applied deep learning algorithms to spectral analysis of MA-XRF datasets, developing a brand new analysis approach.

FLUX-Controlnet-Inpainting, an image repair tool based on ControlNet and FLUX.1-dev, is redefining our understanding of image restoration. This tool not only inherits the high-quality image generation capabilities of the FLUX.1-dev model but also cleverly integrates the strengths of ControlNet. It can accurately repair images based on information from edges, sketches, depth maps, etc., generating content that harmonizes with the surrounding environment in specified areas.

Procreate has refused to introduce generative AI technology into its iPad application, with CEO James Cuda stating that AI is 'taking away the humanity of creation.' This decision has sparked heated discussions in the art community, with artists expressing concerns that AI could change the essence of art and even replace human artists. Cuda emphasized that while technology is advancing, art should not be dominated by machines, and the manual creative process is indispensable. Procreate's users oppose the introduction of AI, prompting the company to pay attention to this issue.

Tencent's Hunyuan DiT model has recently partnered with the community to release three new controllable plugins for ControlNet: tile (high-definition image enlargement), inpainting (image restoration and expansion), and lineart (line art generation), further expanding its ControlNet matrix. The addition of these plugins enables the Hunyuan DiT model to cover a wider range of application scenarios.

Developed by a research team from the National University of Singapore, ProcessPainter is an AI technology that can learn and simulate the painting process of human artists, even generating paintings from textual descriptions. It is first pre-trained on synthetic data and then fine-tuned on sequences of real artist paintings, learning the painting process from abstract to concrete and from macro to detail. ProcessPainter can accept any frame input, achieving precise control over the painting process, whether generating the painting process or restoring painting steps, and even completing unfinished artworks.

The newly launched 'Smart Canvas' feature on Tencent Zhi Ying PC combines AI painting technology, providing users with various practical image editing tools including smart background removal, erasing, expanding images, local re-drawing, image cropping, and high-definition renovation.

Moreover, this feature includes AI painting capabilities for text-to-image and image-to-image functions.

Recently, the Beijing Internet Court held online hearings for four copyright infringement cases filed by illustrators against the developers and operators of AI art software. The plaintiffs in these cases are all renowned illustrators who discovered that their original works, published on a content-sharing platform, were extensively mimicked by the AI art software and used as training material to generate new artworks. These AI-generated artworks not only closely resemble the style of the plaintiffs' works but are also used heavily for commercial purposes, severely harming the interests of the plaintiffs.

Xiaohongshu influencer 'Antenna Sister (Underwear King)' recently shared an unusual experience.
