Positives
- The ability to control visuals with sliders is a solid feature, but it feels like a missed opportunity without demo prompts to replicate results.
Concerns
- All these AI projects disappoint me in how little they care about getting things right, just looking right — a worrying trend for quality.
- Examples run terribly, like 20fps on m4 pro, raising major performance concerns that undermine the tool's potential.
- The liquid metal and watercolor effects don't resemble their namesakes at all, showing a lack of understanding in the design process.
- I don't trust someone who claims their tool can generate ASCII art without even knowing what ASCII is — that's a fundamental flaw.
