The MSPAINT computer use demo made my jaw drop.

I guess it's not too different from the SVG pelicans, in terms of what it's doing, but it's still amazing to see it working in real-time like that.

It's almost like in I, Robot where his arm just zips across the canvas like a dot matrix printer.

The whiplash from the next post where he shows Fable's version absolutely sent me.

Somehow, I liked Fable's version more.

Astra segmented objects and translated them in (pseudo) pixels, but Fable seemed to actually attempt to render with their own strokes.

Author didn't say it was real-time.
