Even if it works despite being AI slop that's been developed in a mere 4 days (?) and somehow has all these contributors, I'm not sure I agree with the idea.

It's cool that they went with Rust for it, but I would have much preferred if all that effort went towards improving GIMP and existing open formats.

If it works then I guess it's the same end result at the end of the day, but it would suck if GIMP doesn't end up being the one to put a nail on Photoshop's coffin after all these years of serious development by humans.

Edit: I already see the kneejerk dislikes coming, I'm just interested in starting a conversation about the idea of it, I also dislike the fact that it's AI slop as I already implied. I'd appreciate joining the conversation instead of dislike bombing with no argument.

I do not believe that they are doing a proper clean room implementation, but I do think it's possible to do with an LLM.

Let's say for the sake of argument that the model used on the clean room side is a fully self-hosted version of Nemotron. One of the characteristics of Nemotron is that it's not just an open weight model, but from my understanding the training set is open, too. So, at least in theory, Nemotron can be proven to be free of any of Adobe's intellectual property.
