I never used Photoshop that much, but I used to be well versed with Lightroom. So I tried Lightcraft[1] which is their Lightroom clone, and I was disappointed after all that hype. I couldn't get any of my photos to look nice, using the workflows I was used to from Lightroom. It felt cheap, unfinished, and barely usable, also compared to the open source Lightroom alternatives that have been around for a while (e.g. Rawtherapee). I'm willing to change my mind in the future, but at the moment, I don't really get the hype.
replyYeah, agree - the feat so far is that they brought up an entire suite of incredibly complicated apps from scratch in a week, and they seem to be tackling issues consistently.
replyThere's a lot of depth in these tools, but the process seems to be working. Look at the issues, PRs, commit history and release notes. It's moving faster than a project with an "all code must be reviewed by a human who is responsible for it" policy would. Will be interesting to see if there's an upper quality bound.
It's not impossible produce good products with AI-assisted or driven coding. It just needs effort, focus, and management, much like regular software development.
replyIf I remember correctly, most of the apps were oneshots.
