Adobe launches AI assistants for Express and Photoshop | TechCrunch

Adobe releases AI assistants for Express and Photoshop that turn text prompts into new images and edits. Express users get the feature now, while the Photoshop assistant remains in closed beta. Express lets users switch into an assistant mode for prompt-driven design and back to familiar editing controls. The Photoshop sidebar assistant reads layers, auto-selects objects, and handles repetitive tasks like background removal or color tweaks. Adobe is also testing “Project Moonlight,” a private-beta assistant that links multiple Adobe apps and taps creators’ social channels for stylistic cues. The company is exploring a ChatGPT integration so Express designs can be built directly inside OpenAI’s chatbot.

Google's new vibe coding AI Studio experience lets anyone build, deploy apps live in minutes
Google's new vibe coding AI Studio experience lets anyone build, deploy apps live in minutes

Google launched a redesigned Build mode in AI Studio that lets anyone generate and deploy a web app from a simple text prompt. The update, branded as “vibe coding,” is available now at ai.studio/build and requires no payment info to begin. Users can mix Gemini 2.5 Pro with tools like Veo, Imagine and Flashlight, edit the full React/TypeScript source, and push directly to GitHub or Cloud Run. An “I’m Feeling Lucky” button auto-creates app concepts for inspiration, while advanced models and Cloud Run deployment unlock only after adding a paid API key. The hands-on demo showed a novice building a working dice-rolling app in 65 seconds, highlighting how far the barrier to AI app creation has fallen. That speed and simplicity position Google’s offering as a direct challenger to developer-oriented tools like OpenAI’s Codex and Anthropic’s Claude Code, according to the article.

Why ChatGPT Is Bad At Imitating People
Why ChatGPT Is Bad At Imitating People

A cross-university research team found that leading large language models still fail to convincingly imitate human speech in phone-style conversations. The study, published in PMC, showed people could usually tell AI transcripts from real human dialogues. Researchers tested ChatGPT-4, Claude Sonnet 3.5, Vicuna and Wayfarer by comparing their simulated calls against actual human transcripts and asking participants to judge the source. They trace the AI giveaway to exaggerated imitation, awkward use of filler words, and clumsy openings and endings. Researchers say hype over AI fluency outpaces reality, as the models’ speech quirks remain easy to spot. They add that even as systems improve, key conversational discrepancies persist.
