Adobe can fuck off and die
Without constant influx of fresh art, AI will devolve into deep-fried absurdist memes. :)
need to embrace AI or get left behind
It should be noted that we're hearing this a lot. But it should also be known that the only people saying it are the people making and selling AI.
Edit: I think I did hear this from Gartner, too, but from my experience, they have a bad habit of jumping onto hype bandwagons. So I'm taking it with a grain of salt.
How about we switch it around: "Artists are telling Adobe to embrace their creative needs or risk being left behind." Adobe is forgetting that Artists are the ones providing their revenue
Artists are dumb enough to still use Adobe, so they probably get away with it.
* companies paying enormous fees
Adobe execs need to be kissed good night to sleep in their beds. This is a very reasonable policy. Intellectual property rights are a thing that makes a lot of sense. The commons are definitely not being encircled by people who have names and addresses.
The interesting part is that Adobe has a lot of IP. You don't see them saying that you can freely use it.
Is 2024 the year of gimp?
Dope af
I would add Sumatra PDF and Okular to this list
making their dogshit programs not even worth stealing at this point
It should be noted that Adobe can fuck right off, and computerized art is not the only kind of art. It is generous to even call it art. It’s still all called graphics in my opinion.
I think they’re worried.
