The vast majority of AI tools are vaporware mock-ups …

Adobe Firefly is best example of “just ship a mock-up of the feature” Ai marketing

Firefly has some genuinely cool shit in it (their text treatments are pretty neat), but overall quality is dramatically lacking because they only train on images they have explicit rights to.
Of course Adobe put out crap but Claude is a real product, not vaporware...
Neither of them put out "crap"
Adobe isn't an AI company so it stands to reason that the AI product they put out is crap. Photoshop and their other products while not "Crap" are certainly overpriced relative to opensource competitors.
I'm with you if you're talking about krita, GIMP doesn't even register as a blip, if you are comparing it with Photoshop. Not opened but photopea.com and Affinity are the only best ones that come very close.
Bad take
