Rise of the Machines - AI Vector Tracing is coming for our Bitmaps!

Quit buggin' me
Anyone turn to the AI dark side and check out the online AI bitmap to vector converters?
A customer sent me what looks like a phone screen cap of a logo - the cropped logo center part was less than 800 x 800 pixels.
Dropped it here:

Convert PNG, JPG files to SVG vectors online - Vectorizer.AI

Trace pixels to vectors in full color. Fully automatically. Using AI.Free while in Beta.
vectorizer.ai vectorizer.ai
It converted so fast that I thought it wasn't working.
49 objects - 1020 nodes including the text. It outlined everything and I deleted the extra paths with the 'find same' tool. I might have missed the 'don't outline' option in the converter.
Still struggles with text but there is no path editing of the graphic.

I have not, but now I need to. I wonder if it's better than image trace in illy.

This is awesome, thanks for this! I just built an API connection for my automation and am testing it now. The manual tests are pretty great, although it doesn't like less than 2pt lines.

Thanks for the link! I just tried it with a logo I was having some issues with and it worked surprisingly well. I'll definitely test it out some more. I like the options when you go to download.

It's going to be a while before the machine will truly catch up to talent and skill like the Vector Dr. Simple stuff is one thing, but a lot of things just takes some know-how and intuition that the machine does not yet have.

Not according to some of my customers who think they're "helping" by converting low-res bitmaps using Illustrator. One of them actually informed me about this neat trick built right into Illustrator! "You don't know about Image Trace?" LOL His vectors looked like crap, letters all rounded out and distorted.

I wouldn't say that. We have Vector Magic, and Graphic Tracer pro, and I have found that the image trace in Illy is better than both of those. It's not fantastic, but its usually sufficient for what I need to do quickly. Anything complex, or that I don't have time to do myself we would send out to have it vectorized.

this website is owned by the same venture capital group that owns vectormagic.com. I wonder why they have both?

Well, this new thing is still just Beta.... maybe they will dump vector magic once the new software takes off and it's no longer free.

someone with access to vectormagic should try to run the some images through both and see if the results are comparable. I tried a couple images. It only worked well with a very high res clear jpeg file. 90% of the files i get don't do well using any type of autotracing tool.
