Disappointing to see all the snarky remarks here. Let me tell you, it's not easy to ignore the AI wave. The fear of being left behind is very, very real. AI-based tools are quadrupling their revenues in a matter of months, even on a very high base (Cursor famously going from $100M to $300M in 3 months). Reading "it's all over", "graphic design is dead" all over social media doesn't help either.

I am an author of a Desktop App [1] myself. More often than I like to admit, I find myself wondering how I can integrate AI, because that's all the rage these days and gets views, clicks, and potentially revenue.

Taking a firm stance like this and standing up for creativity is not an easy stance. Kudos to Procreate team for taking it!

If you were judging based on HN comments, you'd think that AI is failing miserably. In reality, people are using generative AI more and more - even if they do so silently or while criticizing it.

The jury is still out on AI-centric workflows, but AI augmented workflows are here and won't go anywhere irrespective of what the Internet mob says.
