Trying out the Affinity 2 Beta, which has NPU support for a couple new plugins. The object selector is CRAZY fast…

      @Overlander_1@techhub.social Oh I’m with you on generative AI slop, but I will admit to enjoying the output of NPUs since the Huawei Kirin chips back in the day.
      THat’s how we got cameras that could identify subjects, then later we got Sony’s amazing eye tracking autofocus, and now subject detection in photo editing apps.
      That kind of on-device practical NPU performance is really interesting.

      Making soulless “art” out of prompts? A lot less interesting…
