The purpose of communication is to distribute and filter information.

And connect with other people, feel catharsis, to feel less alone, loved, engaged, interested, and the other things that make us human. AI will not give us that and in fact undermine that. Perhaps then AI will push back to the "real world" for these interactions, as the article opines.

Most of the two minutes was setting up Windows to select Fireworks as the editor.

I have Windows 10. There is a program called Paint 3D. I opened it now and do not see guides or the option to turn on guides. I do not have an export option where I can preview different formats with different color palettes. If I had more time I could probably list other features Fireworks has that I have become accustomed to.

Oh and Fireworks is consistent. I can trust when I have a task I can open it and it will have expected behavior and features. The way modern software removes and add features and add and hides options on every update makes using the software a task in of itself, before doing the business at hand. I'd rather make my images and be on about my day.

I still run a 22 year old copy Fireworks 4 because of Adobe's shenanigans. Just this morning I had to crop and resize a 1 MB image for display on a website and was able to do that in Fireworks in about 2 minutes resulting in 15k PNG and was on to my next task.
