The Rundown: Adobe just gave a sneak peek of its upcoming AI-powered photo editing tool called ‘Project Stardust.’ The company believes it's set to bring a refreshing wave of change to how we use Adobe tools.
Key points:
Stardust can automatically select objects to move, delete, or alter them — allowing easy edits without manual separation.
The tool can also fill in missing background when items are removed or moved and generate new objects via text prompts.
The company said these teases are ‘a fraction’ of the capabilities, with more news expected at the Adobe Max event on Oct. 10.
Why it matters: With AI announcements from Canva (Magic Studio), Google (Magic Editor), and now Adobe — the creative arms race is reaching escape velocity. When we said “your move, Adobe” in yesterday’s edition, we didn’t expect a response the same day!

EPIK

The Rundown: Epik's ‘Yearbook’ feature is the latest viral AI app sensation, using selfies to generate vintage school memories — with a wave of social media influencers sharing their AI-generated snaps.
The details:
The app uses AI to combine facial features, producing 60 convincing yearbook-style images in different outfits and poses.
For $4-10, Epik will transform 8-12 selfies into AI-generated photos with realistic quality, surprising (and scaring) users.
Some criticize using personal images to train systems — though Epik claims it doesn't store photos.
The relevance: Epik’s rise follows in the footsteps of apps like Lensa and Remini — and are perfect examples of how viral trends can quickly skyrocket new AI apps to fame. But the hype cycle moves fast, making it difficult for these fleeting moments to keep momentum.

QUICK HITS
Walmart is bringing AI features to help customers shop and decorate, with users able to chat with a shopping assistant, search via natural language queries, and get interior design ideas. The consumer-facing additions come on the heels of the company’s corporate AI tool launched in August.
Recommendation platform Likewise launched a free AI chatbot called ‘Pix’ on Thursday, giving users personalized entertainment suggestions. Backed by Bill Gates' firm, it taps OpenAI to suggest highly-relevant movies, shows, and books based on user’s data points.
Meta's recently launched AI-generated stickers are going viral — but not in a good way. The company’s Emu algorithm seems to lack filters, allowing controversial phrases and images that have induced a wave of ridiculous (and oftentimes offensive or copyright-infringing) stickers spreading across social media.
