A company called Artcraft says it used an AI to reverse-engineer Adobe's Photoshop and Microsoft Office from screenshots and feature lists, and is promoting the results as full replacements. Pivot to AI reports that the clones are in early alpha, a lot of the features in them don't work, and a bank analyst downgraded Adobe's stock after reading the announcements.
