If an AI tool could possibly replace Photoshop with a prompt and a few bucks worth of tokens, do we really need the app at all - why not just ask the AI directly to do whatever it was you were going to do with the app?
But then one step further, why should any of us have jobs at all? If AIs can do almost anything a person at a keyboard can do, maybe 85% of the quality, but instantly for anything for a few bucks or less, is there any point in paying any of us at all to do anything we could do at a keyboard?
I wonder if it's going to come to that in 10 or 20 years.
