Possibly of interest to a few categories in the forum, as a guy uses AI to produce open-source apps that aim to replace Photoshop, Premiere, and five other Adobe products
Specifics are in the link

From the article on the end of the link:
They might look like Adobe's apps, but it doesn't sound like they're able to replace the long-established programs just yet.
Meanwhile, Affinity by Canva is free and already a viable alternative to Adobe apps.
The ArtCraft guys have created Linux versions on the apps which is pretty cool as Affinity/Canva don't seem to be working in that direction.
I had a quick play with the Publisher/InDesign app, DesignCraft and it is, err, lacking. So, sadly, I can't be ditching Windows just yet!
I used Photocraft to produce an e-biook cover. It worked fine. The most frustrating thing about it was not knowing Photoshop. If you know Photoshop, it'll work just fine for that. I certainly won't be using it to replace v3, though.
I downloaded the print book software, but I haven't given it a try.
(I'm on a couple of Macs.)
