Meanwhile, we now have direct reports of reverse engineering efforts being blocked, while online complaints grow.

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

    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.
