Description of the feature
I would like to ask, if the team is working on enhancements for the function „removing the background of pictures” respectively for “extracting objects in a picture”. In Gimp we have many methods in this area. For instance: Selection tools, Select by Colour, Magic Wand, Intelligent Scissors, Foreground Selection, Path tool, Building black and white masks which can applied in the layer mask, Extract Foreground with Gmic and so on. This is very good tool set. But on the other hand I see many tools and features in the market, which work efficient and can easier be used. The next leap is the AI-driven-model. I think Apple uses in the latest IOS versions AI-driven algorithm. I came also across the Meta AI (https://github.com/facebookresearch/segment-anything ), and there are many Websites and Applications which offer these function in an astonishing simple way but with astonishing results. I think, it is very important that Gimp should offer comparable features based on AI-algorithm, so that Gimp can further be positioned as open source alternative to Photoshop, Pixlr, remove.bg, Powerpoint, pixcut.wondershare, photoscissors and so on.
