### 1/5 — Bezahlt und unbrauchbar

*2026-07-27*

Man kann aus Fotos Zeichnungen generieren. Allerdings gelingt es nicht, solch eine Zeichnung ohne eingeblendete Menüoptionen und Logos anzuschauen. Das kann nicht wahr sein, dafür, dass man überrumpelt wurde, ohne Probeabo ein ganzes Jahr zu abonnieren. Ich fühle mich betrogen.
