Thomas has shared his new clones to ArtCraft GitHub, making them free for all to download.

Yeah, the guy that just released all Adobe products a week ago that barely work, surely releasing another suite of tools next weekend instead of fixing the plethora of bugs is a good sign that he is capable to keep maintaining a project in long term.

I did try the PhotoSlop, and within the like 20 minutes I couldn't make the canvas the size I asked for, the work (mostly trying random stuff, but that's not the point) did not get saved when I saved it, and it froze when I alt-tabbed, so I lost all of it.

I'm sure it's getting them a lot of attention, but why would I use anything of his when he got bored with it and moved to another project in literally a week while it has absolutely blocker issues?

I heard next week he's releasing GTA 7 made by AI.

Rookie mistake, clearly forgot to add "make no mistakes" to the prompts. Also, ironic that his suite is called "ArtCraft", too bad its creation is so far from any art or craft.

I've seen people mention that he in the "AI art is art" crowd, even his username might actually be that? I didn't check, but that would fit.

Bullshitting is an art, I guess
