The images definitely look good enough to serve as ideas/inspiration IMO. A sketch doesn't need to look photorealistic to inspire you.

But at that point does it need to be your room even? If the results aren’t actionable because of constraints, why not just flip through images of existing real world kitchens?

Well yes a double sink and a six top cooking space look great on brochures but it's only when you try to fit the fridge, the window and that awkward door that you realize you'd end up with a single 60cm working space or the corner element won't open or the dish washer door interferes with the fridge door or walkable space or you can only open drawers standing on their side

GP was talking about inspiration. That doesn’t mean you get to carbon copy anything.

When the AI blows away support walls and rearranges things that can’t structurally work, its utility is limited too. It can also dream up sinks/fridges/ranges that don’t exist with sizes that aren’t realistic either.

I’m supportive of the general direction but in a model that’s built for it where all the real constraints can actually be accounted for reliably. That would allow you to go beyond looking at pics for inspiration into renderings you can flip through easily. Bonus points if it can approximate cost, including plumbing and electrical in rearranging things for where plumbing and electrical already are.

It doesn't look like this stable diffusion would be able to tell you that either. You can see it changing the shape (angles) of the room in real time. It does not show cabinets at real depth etc.

Correct. In a different field, we're using AI to do the same thing but for streets: https://twitter.com/betterstreetsai

...and it's already led to actual change: https://twitter.com/MikeBradleyMKE/status/157083982421467545...
