Bugs....are they going to get fixed?
Answered
I haven't used AI much, certainly initially the memory use was problematic and the crashes are problematic.
But I started watching the Deep Dive and have found a renewed interest but the crashes are distracting, was trying sky replacement for the first time today and must have tried on one picture a dozen times and random things caused the program to just disappear.
Finally tinkered with a photo to a reasonable point to discover the AI is using 5Gb of RAM just for one picture, it's a 4Mb jpg! I appreciate what the specs say but to need 5Gb of ram just to edit one small image is a problem.
It's been exporting for a while, long enough to read my emails, reply to some whatsapp messages, find this page, get a couple of out of memory errors on this page (but other pages ok) and still no luck.
I'm going to have to say the biggest issues are still performance and bugs and making nice features isn't useful if the product just doesn't run.

It's clearly never going to finish this export but turns out it's never going to cancel the export either, but cancelling by changes (was an export from lightroom), that's instant.
Restart. Export photo from lightroom , AI opens @ 3.7Gb. Adds sky (blue sky 4 (527kb) and ram usage goes to 4.5Gb (so the sky module need 800mb of ram?). Defocus set to 3, 4.89Gb (defocus = +400mb). Fiddle with relight strength but no change +180mb, tinkers with local mask, fails to do anything on the sky, changes to decreasing template level (to tone down that sky - sky needs a strength slider of some nature) now on 5.7Gb. Clicks apply, 5.9Gb and oh hang on no evidence I ever did anything.
Retry, luckily I've done this change so many times now I know exactly what I did oh and now it's just worked, exported quickly and loaded into lightroom quickly with no apparent logic to why it worked fine this time and not others, that took me around 40 minutes, I'm fairly happy with the change but it just is not worth the pain.
