Original: People are using AI to make expensive computer programs free. This could change everything # Tech # AI # ReverseEngineer
Discussions online describe people using AI to reverse-engineer costly commercial programs, such as those from Microsoft and Adobe, and release free alternatives.

Why now: Claims that AI can cheaply recreate proprietary software challenge the business models of major tech firms.
