The race for AI "helping" us continues as Adobe now want people to grant them access so they can moderate content of your active projects! Can't see this being abused at all, no way at all!

Scum bags. All to steal content from their users.

 

[jshackles]

The fact that they had to clarify this in their updated terms means they've been doing it all along and just not telling you.

 

[Spyxos]

Are there any alternatives? Or can they do what they want?

 

[Chittagong]

I hate Adobe so much. I am glad they were not allow to ruin Figma. I hope Figma will soon make AI and ID completely irrelevant.

Hope Figma picks up. Ran into a bunch of basic things not there, like searching layers, vector transformations, etc. Plugins don't cut it.

 

[T4keD0wN]

Fitting that Adobe logo is basically a red flag.

Affinity (Serif) are the closest, but they just got bought by Canva (for silly money), so will probably end up just as shit in a few years.

 

[SoloCamo]

So they can delete content if you are inactive as well? Why are they allowed to moderate content you made on software you paid for... Oh wait, we don't own squat anymore and rent everything. Adobe is allowing another player a wide open shot to step in with moves like this.

[Roxkis_ii]

I'm imagining they don't want people to use their AI to make deep fakes and other unsavory materials. So that means their going to slide their hand up your ass and ask you to cough up some money for the honor.

If you really want privacy, you shouldn't be using any public ai tool not hosted on your own computer. There is no privacy on anything internet connected. That boat left the dock long ago.

Hell yeah same here I bought it back when it came out and I still just use it. Better interface, not full of bloat and BS just a good solid program. I also like to use Clip Studio as an alternative it's a pretty amazing program as well if you want an alternative it's like $60 and you buy it and own it.

Oddly it didn't show for me when I checked before, thanks

This is so outrageous it's difficult to process.

What a time to be alive.

Plenty

 

[xrnzaaas]

Adobe fully transformed into an evil corp when they introduced the subscription, now they're just doubling down. Thankfully there are alternatives and you can still use older versions of PS without any of this bullshit.

Photopea

 

[SF Kosmo]

I think this is more about the stuff on their cloud than it is locally stored projects, which makes a bit more sense.

 

[FeralEcho]

Stealing ideas is now a feature!

Wtf is wrong with this world... We're going down the shitter fast

 

[SJRB]

 

[AyraSutoraifu]

I barely use CC anymore because Figma covers 90% of the work i do. Thinking of cancelling my subscription and go for the alternatives.

 

[Maestr0]

There's every reason to never use adobe again.

 

[AJUMP23]

I already have a product that monitors everything I do....my phone.

 

[Pagusas]

Sadly all my workflows completely revolve around adobe products. I have a love/hate relationship with the company. This years Adobe Max will be very interesting.

 

[chromhound]

 

[Pagusas]

Won't help you at all with many of the AI features, which honestly are damn good.

 

[SoloCamo]

Just cancelled. I don't use it professionally anyways.

 

[Chittagong]

Imagine working on the Switch 2 logo or PS5 Pro box art. Or iPhone 16 Pro Max promo images. Adobe can just go and have a peek.

 

[Renoir]

is there really a reason to use the new Adobe suite? Im still on the 2018 Suite, no subs.
Are there more advance tools? Is it just "AI" advancements?

 

[Codes 208]

Aaaand uninstalled.

Krita and CSP, youre back up

 

[DKehoe]

People should probably read these things before they sign them.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Adobe feeling the heat from AI. Stock dropped $200 this year as there's rumblings Adobe's stranglehold on creative stuff will drop as people use AI tools.

So what Adobe wants is to sniff around people's projects so they can learn what people are trying to do and try to improve their own software suites asap.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Good luck finding any cloud service without similar terms.

Some of the further explanations they give also make sense when it comes to manual review for legitimate reasons. There's some vile people out there. At the same time I also understand the blowback from customers. It's a tough balancing act.

 

[Toons]

I keep my stuff off of their cloud anyway. Seems that will remain to be the case.

 

[CGNoire]

CS6 4 Life.

Shit was already perfect no wonder they started there sub service. Otherwise no one would ever upgrade it.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

I also don't think £33 a month, just for PS for an individual, is good value for money.

I don't know what the other things do but I doubt they get used.

 

[spons]

If only there was something as good an alternative for Photoshop as Blender is for 3D and Krita is for drawing.

 

[ahtlas7]

I have used the Suite for years and this year’s Ps & Lr are the best so far but wow this “user agreement“ is whack! Lawsuits need to be brought over this out of control corporate bullshit.

 

[Lux77]

Clever move by Affinity
You get whole suite and its perpetual so no subscription or cloud stuff.
