[I literally had this thought in the shower this morning so please don’t gatekeep me lol.]

If AI was something everyone wanted or needed, it wouldn’t be constantly shoved your face by every product. People would just use it.

Imagine if printers were new and every piece of software was like “Hey, I can put this on paper for you” every time you typed a word. That would be insane. Printing is a need, and when you need to print, you just print.

    Canva just announced the next generation of Affinity. Instead of giving us Linux support, while Affinity is “free” now they crammed in a bunch of AI to upsell you on a subscription.

      Yeah… we kinda saw that coming ever since that first email from Serif about the acquisition…

      Is there anything out there now that’s comparable? I’ve still got v1 and v2 suites and installers, but… that’ll only last as long as the twats at Canva keep the auth servers going.
