So someone used A.I. to reverse engineer Adobe's full suite of APPs: Photoshop, Illustrator, PDF Editing, even threw in a Word Document editor, and released it for free:
It's called Get Art Craft: https://getartcraft.com/apps

This isn't GiMP, They put some work in this, they got it feeling like photoshop:
Adobe needs to shut this shit down. But it's already too late assholes.
But this is a continuation of my Ray Ray's Weapons N Firearms thread, someone with enough time is coming for any and everyone's necks.
So now anyone with a thought can take on massive software companies while eating Cheetos in their mom's basement.
But I warned everyone this is coming. You got a good idea, someone's going to be coming for your neck.
So now what do we do? Can't create software someone will clone it. IN FACT, check this out:
So this dude created this software for Mac that converts files. This dude thought he was going to get his little $24.99, probably 100 sales a week, about $3K a week in revenue - the App only works for 20 uses, and then you have to pay.
NOPE.
Well think again asshole, some dudes in the comment section cloned it and put it on github:
Mac version: https://github.com/RealAdii/shift-convert
Windows version: https://github.com/Maxaccurate/ZestDrop
Wow. Just Wow.
Imagine you took a 1-3 months of your life to built a little software project and these assholes clone it within hours.
We're back to the pirating software era like it's 1999. This is it boys. I'm talking about before Pirate Bay. I'm talking about KeyGenerators, Astalavista search, MP3 downloads through IRC channels. We're going back to that era.
Now, imagine going to one of those website that publish new software/saases daily for people to try out. I can't recall the name of them, but the one where they give you lifetime deals for buying the one-time package, and just cloning everything that looks good and dropping the price $10. See I can still teach you how to make money here.
So how does someone trying to make online money escape this?
Exclusivity, even if it's just the appearance of it.
Gap and Louis Vuitton both sell purses. Their price ranges are vastly different - they do the same thing. However that's looking at it from a purely functional standpoint. LV is a luxury statement to show the world and showcase who you are. It's that exclusivity. And this type of selling requires creativity like I was talking about in the Ray Ray thread.
But I'm going to have to leave you here, the king tide flood waters are coming into the lobby and I'm on mop duty for my night shift job.
From the deep deep trenches...

"There is a man in a cave that is training for the day that he has to fight you. He has no running water, no medicine, no gym, and no girlfriend. Someday you will face him in the field of battle and if you do not train for that day he will defeat you.
While you shitpost on the internet and masturbate to chinese cartoons and consume thrice your daily caloric requirement, the man in the cave continues to prepare for the inevitable day of battle."
