We are at a weird moment where the latency of the response is slow enough that we're anthropomorphizing AI code assistants into employees. We don't talk about image generation this way. With images, its batching up a few jobs and reviewing the results later. We don't say "I spun up a bunch of AI artists."

Are there any semi autonomous agentic systems for image generation? I feel like mostly it's still a one shot deal but maybe there's an idea there.

I guess Adobe is working on it. Maybe Figma too.

That's part of my point. You don't need to conceptualize something as an "agent" that goes off and does work on its own when the latency is less than 2 seconds.
