2020 vs 2025. what hadd been added?

[kirk]

  I switched to other ways to manage my assets.  Focused  more on games content creation.  But still like a lot a few cool things from imatch.   I am considering update  to modern version.  Been tried to persuade a  company I work for to  buy a license few years ago but since nobody but me use imatch it didn't happen.  Would like to make another try maybe.

  Now I am wondering what have I  missed since 2020.14 .    Any AI features ?  I'd love something AI would be looking for resources  for me. Too bad I work with specific material/textures kind of images and photos  no AI been trained to recognize well so far. 

  And Ai generated textures are still crap , blurry, inconsistent  and surreal or otherwise  plain and totally boring. 

    Tested a few pre-trained models like CLIP.   Nope , still doesn't work .   I imagine something like imatch database with lots of keyword and categories could be a good training  base for AI recognizing specific  features in material style of images?

Also wondering did anyone tried to use chatGPT to make any custom tools expression or one button apps  for imatch?

 Python script Chat does is now my default way to deal with any art creation software. Too much of complexity to keep everything in  mind so Chat is a way to go for a while for me or I am getting too old and tired.   Started to hate mobile phones already.   .
