Adobe Embraces AI Art: Is It a Step Forward or a Step Back?

Words are being typed into a machine that has been fed genuine art! Even if Adobe can only reveal photographs that have been “properly built, used, and disclosed,” as they say, it still stinks! Gah! Attempting to address one of AI art’s issues—art theft—doesn’t relieve it of others, such as the fact that nothing about these pictures or their production has anything to do with art!

In the last six months, artists’ reactions have been as polarized as every major AI art revelation. Some criticize the firm and others resort to more conventional appeals, pushing people to look for alternatives to Adobe’s goods.
