ある時点で Canva Pro のような第 3 の層ができ、そのユーザーを Affinity Suite に取り込むことができるようになったとしても、私は驚きません。

Infact, justsearchingAffinityandAI, you'regoingtosee a lotofforumpostsasking, "Hey, whenareyougoingtobeincorporating a lotoftheAIfeatureslikePhotoshophasoverthelastyearortwo?"
実際、Affinity と AI を検索すると、Photoshop のような AI 機能をいつ組み込む予定ですか?という質問が多くのフォーラム投稿で見られるでしょう。
