Why the fuck would any artistic person (read: the people who buy Adobe products) want to train something you threaten to replace them with? That's the most idiotic marketing strategy I've ever seen!

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 8 points 2 days ago

They really do be giving the best arguments for people to switch to alternatives like Clip Studio or Krita or pretty much anything else.

These executives of large companies are so out of touch.

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

The executives need to also be replaced by generative AI. I'm sure it will do a better job at this point

[-] pdxfed@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

It's difficult to get a person to understand something when their paycheck depends on them not doing so.

[-] ohwhatfollyisman@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago

correction: artists need to embrace generative ai or leave adobe behind.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Doing both is also an option.

God I can’t wait for this AI bullshit to be done with. It’s so much more annoying than crypto.

[-] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee -2 points 2 days ago

I don't think it's going anywhere. They may hit a wall with GenAI and it'll calm down for a while but the possible upsides of AGI are way too vast for people to suddenly just stop caring about.

Also, I'd say that 90% of 'AI bullshit' is people hate-posting about it on social media. Like the thread we're in right now.

[-] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

my prediction is that the existing AI products won't stop but the trend of adding AI into everything will stop. There's a cool Wikipedia page about the repeated ups and downs of AI hype cycles. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yep. Theory suggests AGI should be possible, and there's good reason to think it would change everything. It just harder to tell when it will arrive, and how.

The thing currently called "AI" is much more limited in scope, and kinda is overhyped. It's smart but impossible to align with any specific external goal.

I just made the jump from Adobe to Serif Affinity Designer, Photo, and Publisher.

So that’s killed Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign for me.

And I moved to DaVinci from Premiere.

Only tool left is Audition which I’ve found hard to replace (specifically features like the spectral frequency display and the easy ways to cut out very specific frequencies visually).

Fuck Adobe.

[-] badbytes@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Adobe RIP 2024. You had a good run.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

I wasn't invested in Adobe anyway but - okay, bye!

[-] griD@feddit.org 7 points 2 days ago

Adobe Software got so shitty, e.g. their UI elements look like garbage. Pixelated circles/buttons etc. Photoshop stability is shaky at best.
At least on my laptop at work. I stopped using that EaaS (Enshittification as a Service) for private projects.

[-] falsemirror@beehaw.org 8 points 2 days ago

Would hate to be "left behind" in expressing myself?

I know he means exploited workers making Kellogg's ads or something, but it's such gremlin mind to think this way about art.

[-] chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 days ago

Accept it quietly shitty plebeian and back to work. Don't think, just work

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 days ago

I fancy myself a thinker, and I agree, though. To date nothing has been deliberately uninvented.

[-] off_brand_@beehaw.org 1 points 1 day ago

Well sure but also what does that even mean? And inventions have fallen into obscurity or failed to reach adoption for their target audience. The issue here being that artists are not the target audience of GenAI, it's anyone who pays for art. Dont know why Adobe is pretending otherwise here.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 day ago

Well, they're in the business of selling things to artists, so they have a vested interest in saying commercial art isn't done.

[-] ogmios@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago
[-] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

I think he's kinda right. The market for paintings and other analogue art massively shrunk with the invention of photography and then digital art, but it still exists.

We'll probably see something similar with "organic" digital art.
