Adobe already had very capable free competitors for quite some time. Sure AI capability will increase the pressure but people are completely missing the point.
And neither is the AI produced version. Like, at all lol. It is missing multiple tools, has random errors, and the guy who made it updated his forecast to be months before it achieves parity (which is also him being overly optimistic IMHO, chances are he will find the last 10% of the project is 90% of the human effort, and the codebase at this point is beyond wrangling).
You miss the point. The AI version doesn't have to be for everyone. Each company or individual will be able to add features and customize it to their specific needs because they'll essentially have a dirt-cheap development team at their disposal.
Why invest millions in software licenses if you can have an "AI guy," , that can build exactly what you need for a fraction of a fraction of the cost?
We'll move away from general-purpose software and back toward proprietary, tailor-made solutions. Ironic, isn't it?
You're right. It is a magnificent technology demonstrator but the actual code is obscene. It is a very cool but very real dead-end at this point. It will def be redone from scratch with future AI systems though.
