90% of what is generated is not doable.

You cannot just add a new window like that, or change the view you have. Also the furniture that is generated doesn't exist as it is generated as well, so how are you actually supposed to buy it?

Take the designs to a craftsman? If AI inspires a resurgence in craftspeople using their skills to create truly bespoke pieces, that'd be a very good thing.

The cost for truly bespoke pieces and the types of people not paying a designer to redecorate their space will nearly cancel each other out.

For this app in particular sure. But in general I expect a massive uptick in people playing around with telling image AI's "make a modern looking table and chairs with sharp geometric designs and..." then refining the concept and taking that as an inspiration portfolio to a craftsman. I wouldn't be interested in paying a designer to just come up with ideas that I may not even like, but if I have something I know I like and a designer/craftsman can refine/realize it, that's a compelling proposition.

The benefit of having a designer is that you can have input at every stage of the process. Pick some swatches out, pick some styles, pick a budget. You aren't just throwing money into the void and getting a human designed living space. Iteration is part of the process.

I'm sure AI will evolve and this will be a different conversation, of course.

Just because a process is iterative doesn't mean the result will be ideal, or even satisfactory. You're limited by the capabilities of the individual designer, and you'd better believe a decent one will want payment even if you sit down for a few hours but end up not coming up with an item that really speaks to you.

If you can start the conversation with an tangible pectoral representation of what you want the end product to be, you're much better off.

Do a reverse image search on Google and buy the closest matching piece of furniture. Doesn't have to be precisely the same

It could be a good idea to monetize the product if it offered affiliate links to matching furniture. But I think it wouldn't be that easy to do.
