I have been working on a project, with AI, for 4 months. When I see something done in 4 days that is supposed to be a large package, even more complex than what I am working on, I tend to be very wary about the quality.
I wonder though if they just told agents to literally reverse engineer Photoshop. As in, they were given access to Photoshop and able to interact with the UI and figure out every minute behavior. With a good testing strategy, I could see agents producing a decent quality product. That's basically strip mining years of effort put in by humans.
In the project I am working on I use 5 LLM models
What I have found is that anything done with a single family of models is going to be, in my opinion, far less quality than something done with at least a second family of models checking the work. In this particular case it also sounds like there was very little human oversight. Even it works, it likely will have lots of decisions which will come back to haunt the developer, or the users of the software.
There's enough photoshop clones (e.g. photopea) and tutorials written out there that the LLMs would have been trained on.
There's no actual need for an agent to have any interaction with photoshop itself.
