A software developer has used AI to backwards engineer a bunch of Adobe applications rather successfully. He's made it available as open source, so it'll be interesting to see if Stuart ends up copying and pasting it. His Kickstarter gets a mention in the Petapixel article.😅

If the use of AI makes you a little bit sick in your mouth then it's obviously not for you, but it's interesting to see someone actually deliver what Stuart has promised but failed to, and without taking £180k of people's cash...
