Are there any AI open source software / tools / projects that can do image manipulation such as removing backgrounds, or isolating/cutting out a subject or person, or similar things? Manually cutting out things in gimp is a massive PIA and i see there are online tools that seemingly accomplish this using AI but they are locked behind making accounts/credit card/other barriers to get the full size processed image. Surely there must be something out there.

I speak French as a second language (not fluently) and I am trying to find somewhere on Lemmy where people who speak French as a first or second language could communicate with me and people with a similar interest. At my level, just trying to go to French Lemmy instances or communities isn't practical, the proficiency difference is way too large. Are there any communities dedicated to what I am trying to describe? If not, maybe i should create something new where people just submit posts in French and people can have discussions on them to practice and build up their vocabulary. It could be like a centralized pen pal community.
