@Lugh Yeah, I don't think that exec understands art and artists. But I'm glad he understands money.
Futurology
These executives of large companies are so out of touch.
The executives need to also be replaced by generative AI. I'm sure it will do a better job at this point
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.
They really do be giving the best arguments for people to switch to alternatives like Clip Studio or Krita or pretty much anything else.
Accept it quietly shitty plebeian and back to work. Don't think, just work
I fancy myself a thinker, and I agree, though. To date nothing has been deliberately uninvented.
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.
Well, they're in the business of selling things to artists, so they have a vested interest in saying commercial art isn't done.
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.
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.
