In my opinion is possible to stop being slop, if an app is very well made thanks to human checks (like fix garbage code made by llms). Llms can’t be trusted to competely write code imo, but if a good programmer knows how to use llms to improve their workflow I think that’s a good llm usage.

artcraft apps are too new and still have a lot of bugs, but maybe someday it will be more useful in my opinion.

If the code is checked by humans, like on the linux kernel for example, id say I trust it. And I dont think its slop.

and llms have great uses for programming in my opinion, like the opensuses OpenQA, etc. ai has found cves on linux too which is a great usage for it. what I disloke its that some people think that by using tons of tokens they can be programmers by just prompting something…

Artcraft, has a problem that they release quantity over quality, there are like 15 apps now and they aren’t well tested… but who knows, maybe in the future it gets better. Maybe id change my mind of it being slop

I’ve checked its girhub before and photocraft has a lot of contributors, over 400. But the apps are made mostly by claude code. Personally id never use these apps but so far theyvebeen receiving updates quickly with humans adding new bugfixes (humans or maybe more vibe coders…).

I installed the flatpak out of curiosity and these artxraft apps receive updates fast in my opinion, a d they add more things like a reverse engineer app or solidcraft thing.

in my opinion, even with human bugfixes and that, its still slop, I trust other foss alternatives.
