I had the AI build me a Lightroom replacement and dropped Adobe

He says he cannot code, but he used AI to produce a working replacement for Lightroom for his own photo work. It works well enough that he ditched his Adobe subscription.

How it works

  1. Asks the AI to build a photo editing tool for his own use
  2. The AI produces a working Lightroom replacement
  3. He uses it and drops his Adobe subscription

Why it’s worth knowing

He cannot code at all, yet the tool the AI built for him was good enough that he cancelled a paid Adobe subscription.
