Lmao, why do people keep insisting it has 100% parity when it obviously doesnt. It might actually be usable and i wish a thousand deaths upon adobe, but claiming that its a drop in replacement is just a lie.

Adobe is just crap at this point.
Canvas, Affinity, Gimp, Krita and Apple Creator are not a drop in replacement.
But they have the potential to take away new customers who did not work the last decade with adobe suite.

They say it's gonna be 100% parity in a month. Sand Altguy also claim we gonna have AGI in the next 6 months and Melon Husk claimed there will be full self driving today. We'll see by next month.

I'll be happy to check back in a month to see which toxic cesspit provides the best approximation of Photoshop-tier quality.

My bet isn't with the Redditor whose profile reads "To AI haters: AI is just a tool... Adapt." But their attitude is roughly as toxic as Adobe if you strip away the PR, so let them fight I guess

The answer to "which toxic cesspit provides the best approximation of Photoshop-tier quality" is "Adobe Photoshop"

I'd guess you are right, but I don't know because I haven't tested it. I'd say: if this guy really devoted a solid month of focused LLM development time on the job, and knows what he's doing, there's a chance he's pretty close to what is claimed in TFA. But I haven't tested it for myself, so I just don't know. I'm guessing you are right because most of these projects aren't done by people who know what they're doing, and aren't real heavy effort even during the month they work on them.

Musk said it would be full self driving several years ago.

Software defies economics. It can be replicated almost infinitely at almost no cost. When software companies sold software one package at a time in the 90s anti-piracy was a big deal because it was very simple for any given person to "copy a floppy" and receive the full package of software from another individual without the company knowing or being involved. It was like borrowing a rake from a neighbor, but the neighbor got to keep his rake as well.

Because of this, software companies decided instead to treat software as a service rather than as a product. In the 2010s many software companies shifted to the subscription model where instead of selling software one package at a time, the service of the software would be available to rent while the company guarded the propriety aspects of their software. This was like the company owning the rake and both you and your neighbor needed to pay the company to borrow the rake.

Now software can be reverse-engineered without the source-code. Now if you rent the rake from the company, you can keep a copy of it and freely distribute it without the company being involved or aware. I'm not sure how software companies will reckon with this advancement.

just as a curiosity what happened to the Adobe stock price ?

what's he's suggesting was the entire reason for the "SAApocalypse"

this guy could perhaps have done a Trump and made a bucket shorting Abobe BEFORE his "announcement"?
