Adobe's #aiart app debuted today, and they're talking big about using licensed training data and compensating creators.
AFAIK it's the first general-purpose AI tool from a corp with a content library big enough to compete with scraping. They've used that library for years, powering things like content-aware fill in #photoshop
It's a big move, potentially a declaration of war on #LAION startups and #Midjourney.
*But...*

...despite the claims about ethical sourcing -- and my layperson suspicion that they're on much better legal ground than other companies -- artists have complained about misleading licensing terms from Adobe Stock before, including both in previous AI features and speculation about #Firefly.
Will the compensation plan -- for which the terms and rates are still unannounced -- mitigate that concern? Can permission be withdrawn?

@Rose_On_Mars there was an option in the Adobe settings about letting them using your data for AI training, so yeah you should be able to withdraw the permission.
