Brandon Thomas, developer of ArtCraft, a suite of open-source creative tools meant to replicate Adobe applications for free, has now announced apps to replace Microsoft Office tools such as Excel, PowerPoint, and Word, respectively, named GridCraft, DeckCraft, and WordCraft, that are created with Claude. Thomas has shared his new clones to ArtCraft GitHub, making them free for all to download.

It is funny though. Microsoft being undermined by the very thing they’re using to undermine working class people.

Funny seeing people losing their shit yet again in front of "AI" claims...

Like all the other spectacular previous claims that is not mentioned: it's a bird with half wings - it does not fly.

I also created a Photoshop clone, the only caveat is it crashes at start, BUT I TOTALLY DID IT!

Did you try it? No. You concluded that if it works, your worldview breaks, so it cannot work.

But someone tried it.

(Don't look at the post I linked, your fragile worldview can't handle that)

Tbf they're replacing other vibecoded slopware... Can't be much worse than what it's going after - and at least it's free.

I think they'd eat their own dogfood?
