Has anyone actualy tried this slop stuff? Does it even work?

Tried the PowerPoint clone. Opened our corporate template and hit present. Presentation mode runs sluggish as hell. OnlyOffice is way smoother by comparison.

Uninstalled it right away.

Narrator: uninstall didn't fully work, and he's now infected forever

Yea performance is probably the Achilles' heel of ai slop in general.

Good software doesn't grow on AI. He's going to maintain all this, and keep up rapport before people even want to trust it. Even then, most professionals don't learn on 3rd party stuff cause that detracts from the process itself. Adobe isn't standard because it's expensive or even well made, it's because everyone uses it. This guy's stuff it a toy, it probably "works" but I doubt it's making anyone any money.

True, true, it probably won't ever go anywhere near mainstream. But hey if it helps a guy on a budget, keep track of some stuff on a spreadsheet, without usingn word, I'm all for it.

Tho I wouldn't trust ai slop with important data...
