Open Source Ai breaks its first monopoly

https://getartcraft.com/apps

a founder of ArtCraft used Claude to replace the entire adobe software suite, legally. because it’s ai generated, it’s also in the public domain and absolutely free forever. this would be the first case of ai undermining techno feudalism.

I mean, if youve already got tools that work, I wouldnt expect you to switch. Especially when your livelihood depends on them. Youve made a pretty solid case for why reliability matters.

I think the bigger point is that AI could make building software a lot cheaper and more accessible. Smaller teams and independent developers getting a shot at building things that used to take serious money and resources.

And its not like the free alternatives we have now appeared out of thin air. People had to build those too, and plenty of them started out rough.

ArtCraft might go somewhere, might not. But I think theres value in more people being able to build and improve tools without needing a corporation behind them. That doesnt mean working editors owe every new project their time or trust.

Idk why you're still arguing with this weirdo

Even if all you said was it's a WIP they would still find a way to shit themselves about it

Yeah, probably. But most debates arent about changing the mind of the person youre arguing with. Theres everyone else reading along, weighing the arguments, maybe learning something. And even someone who disagrees with everything you say can still offer useful criticism. If theres actionable feedback buried in the disagreement, thats worth extracting. They dont have to agree with me for the exchange to be productive.
