Thanks for the video and the information around these cases.While I do agree that Adobe and Microsoft can do with being taken down a notch, I don't think this business of "clean room" implementations by LLMs is the way to do it.You mention a few times, and I agree, that we already have good open source alternatives. Krita, GIMP, LibreOffice, InkScape, to name a few. Pouring energy and resources into replicating software that is beyond enshittified will only divide us more and we will remain under the whims of the central sources whose software we're trying to replicate. Adobe still controls the PSD format, etc. In the best case, we become subjects of the LLM models, but in a worse, and more likely case, we become subjects of the owners of the compute power that runs those models, Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.We can sit around and pretend, maybe for a few years, that we took back the power, the time will come when we lose meaningful access for one reason or another. At that point, more people will have stayed in an exploitative system than would have if these replicas didn't start popping up.The only silver lining I see here is that companies who might be able to influence the general direction of LLM use are being affected negatively and so they might start lobbying in a somewhat favorable direction.
