@ashflanagan.bsky.socialReposted by @molleindustria.orgEveryone in creative work for hire knows most of the job is clients asking you for something bad and stupid and you figuring out how to make something completely different while convincing them it's what they asked for. The AI era means everyone gets to see what clients actually want
@molleindustria.orgDing ding ding
@molleindustria.orgInteresting, I love Affinity designer but it has the same problem
@molleindustria.orgI'm sure open source developers hate this stuff but I bet many users hate Adobe more and don't care about how the sausage is made.
@molleindustria.orgSo has anybody seriously tested those ArtCraft apps - the vibe coded clones of the Adobe suite and MS Office?

@molleindustria.orgICYMI Google also released a slop game making thing.
Their ad literally portrays the Knitting Stage of Cultural Production*
@molleindustria.orgUnity 6 takes like 1 minute to recompile every time I add a line of code and that's the main reason I'm sticking to version 2022. Next year I'll have to stop teaching it at Carnegie Mellon University due to its maddening slowness. I guess this is what they've been up to:
