Pro photographer here. And I've counted at least ten of these photo editing apps that have appeared in the last year, many of them in the last few months. All of them LLM-assisted or completely vibe coded.

They definitely work but...

Unlike Lightroom or Darktable (an open source Raw editor that took years to get to a sophisticated level), they are all rough around the edges. Maybe in the future they'll get better in terms of being really refined to handle advanced photography, but right now they're hobby applications.

To me this highlights the absurdity of AI, because enormous amounts of energy is wasted on duplicating stuff and making something new.

I won't try and argue that nothing nice can come out of it, but it seems absurd to me to waste so much energy as a species this way. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a hundred more of these apps in another year.
