My how fast the AI tech bros move to protect corporations but don't move to protect the average coder, artists, writers.

Is this in response to that new "reverse engineer anything" tool from the people that reverse engineered the Adobe suite?

    I'm really tired of the lie that ArtCraft is "reverse engineered Photoshop".

    It's a slop factory. If you don't believe me, download it and run it yourself. It's just a frontend for tons of image and video GenAI bullshit. It doesn't resemble Photoshop in the slightest, that narrative is pure marketing.

    And it's only "free" in the sense that you can download it for free. The first thing they ask you to do when you launch the program is buy tokens from them.

    Even if it did work, Adobe’s legal team will obliterate them. I’m also not sure about the legality of using it for any paid work. It’s a moot point, though, since it’s slop, and better off using a cracked version that at least works.

    anyone who thinks AI can be used by us commoners for much longer is deluding themselves. it is so obvious that these big LLM companies want to capture the market by making everyone dependent and then crank prices way up.
