    Pretty crazy. I think we’re already very numb to AI. Can you imagine seeing something like this pop up 3 years ago? Youd have been dumbfounded and it would have been major news.

      Have you tried the apps, or have any experience with Photoshop (complex photo or art or video projects)?

      Just curious, because I've worked within design/film etc. for years.

      I did open the PhotoCraft and loaded a few of my simpler layout projects. And literally nothing works.

      Let's see:

      1. Tried to select text, like the selector is off from the cursor.

      2. Tried to edit text, takes like 3 seconds to drag the slider for size, nothing happens (text doesn't change size).

      3. Absolutely everything is insanely laggy: selecting, switching, etc.

      4. Can't seem to expand/collapse folders.

      5. Everything shows shortcut keys - shortcut keys don't do anything.

      6. Tried to move something, it kind of got frozen for a while. Eventually disappeared I think?

      7. Clicked something and it auto selected a side panel (don't know why), hid the other panel, can't stretch, collapse the panels or get it back...

      This is actual joke software, I'm confused why you are impressed?

        In the AI era nobody has time to use software, they just ask AI to evaluate the app that AI built…

        A house of mirrors.
