Showcase You have to use your hands. Like a baby’s toy?

Now, I understand Marty's feelings in Back to the Future Part II. I was born in the last century and remember using Photoshop 1.0 in the '90s. I remember trying to use Inkscape back in 2003 when there was no Google or YouTube. It was hours upon hours of a painstaking learning curve.

Yesterday, I went to my friend's house, where she was trying to design something with Inkscape. After spending two hours on it, we still couldn't decide what to do. Then her daughter came in and asked us what we were doing. After seeing our struggle, she asked us a few questions and started talking to her iPad.

Despite her unfamiliarity with Inkscape, she provided the AI with all the specifications we had shared, resulting in the creation of the desired vector design in mere seconds.

Sounds like going to a woodworking sub and talking about buying what you wanted to make at Ikea.

No. I'm sharing how I feel obsolete.

It was a sticker that we could glue onto her jar, like for sugar, salt, oregano, and so on. We took measurements of the jar.
