Interesting take. I'm a programmer, but learned Photoshop in the early 2000s and had a blast making and editing images for fun. Sure, the generative models today can do a far better job than anything I could come up with, but that doesn't detract from the experience and skills I picked up over the years. If anything, knowing Photoshop (I use Affinity Designer/Photo these days) is actually incredibly useful to finesse the output produced by AI. No regrets. | ||

> learned Photoshop in the early 2000s and had a blast making and editing images for fun > "had a blast" One can have blasts in many things nowadays. Like playing Factorio, writing functional code for recreational problem solving, playing Chess, making SBC/Microprocessor projects for fun, doing Math for fun, and so on... Photoshop just couldn’t compete with the existing blasts in my life, and I felt a little bad for not learning it. But that teeny, tiny bad feeling has been wiped away by nano-banana. | ||

Photoshop was hella fun, turned out that programming paid more. And now AI pays much more. | ||
