Adobe was known as the company that created Acrobat and PhotoShop. However, Adobe is becoming known as one of the great digital scammers of our time.
From its awesome subscription model make User pays for specific colors in PhotoShop (Shout out to Pantone too)the company, like many others in this tumultuous time, is more interested in growing revenue at any cost than time to consider user needs and the consequences of their actions.
I bring this up today because onion story when learning color thingthe company announced that it is embracing AI art, which is not only a huge problem, but also a serious threat to the lives of artists large and small around the world.
I have already made my feelings about AI very clear on this website—This feature was written in August after interviewing various artists in the video game and entertainment industry.— and not just because it’s a threat to artists, artHuman work is of course important, but not only cotton ginning, How this is in many ways a breakdown of labor versus capitalwe are talking about a process that is fundamentally eroding human entertainment and creative pursuits.
Machines don’t make art. They are machines!

anyway! Last week, Adobe dropped an announcement The AI-generated art will be available as part of the company’s vast library of stock images, which it says the field “amplifies human creativity.” The company has repeatedly boldly stated that it has “deeply considered these issues and implemented a new posting policy that ensures content is used AI technology responsibly by both creators and customers” and that “Generative AI is a giant leap forward. It is.” For creators, using words, sketches, and gestures to develop images lets you harness the incredible power of machine learning to get to ideas faster. “
creator? Fuck you!These people aren’t creating anything! They’re typing words into the computer they’re given actual art! And even if, as Adobe claims, it can only release images that have been “properly created, used, and disclosed”, that sucks!try to do well 1 Like the fact that these images have nothing to do with or their creation has nothing to do with art, the problem of AI art (art theft) does not exempt it from others. There is none!
Of course, as with other AI art announcements over the past six months, the reaction among artists has been wildly negative, with some criticizing the company and others resorting to more traditional shouts.
