I think the link is supposed to be to the original article, not the pirated copy: https://www.businessinsider.com/adobe-employees-slam-company-over-ai-controversy-2024-6 https://www.businessinsider.com/adobe-employees-slam-company...

  no that's correct, it's the right content.

  Archive.is is only a pirate site to the extent that Google is. You are right, however, that submissions are supposed to be original sources.

Adobe has lost its way, time for a new round of leadership if you ask me.

Perhaps a decade or more too late for that.

Simple solution: Don't give Adobe access to your content.

Adobe is terrified that people will start using AI to generate and modify their images and not want/need Photoshop and other tools anymore. There is already a lot of competition in that space with free or lower-cost image editors. Either that, or their customer base of artists will no longer be in business when companies use AI for their artistic/creative needs.

  As they should - I've been a paying PS customer for almost 10 years and quite good with Photoshop. Recently though, the capabilities or tools like Diffusion Bee, controlnet, img2img, gfpGAN, etc is really eliminating need for my hand-tweaking of images. Adobe's generative fill and their annoying "safety" filters really aren't up to par with these free tools.

  That's a misread - Adobe wants to be those tools. Firefly is an example of that.

Adobe knows exactly what they're doing and no amount of PR double-speak is going to fix it. They want in on the billion dollar AI market and they'e not going to let your rights get in their way.

> "Let's avoid becoming like IBM, which seems to be surviving primarily due to its entrenched market position and legacy systems," this Adobe employee added. Hasn’t this already accurately described Adobe for years now?
