Make the Generative AI an Actual Tool, not a Toy

Since Adobe has taken a simp position on the use of Generative AI for anything that is actually useful to people beyond making clouds and rainbows. It would be nice to have the ability to point the app to an API of our choosing, because if we are being brutally honest, the nanny police make it impossible to use, and the AI it does use sucks.

 

I am a comic illustrator and have used Photoshop and Illustrator for 20 years or more now and anything with muscles, fighting, blood or anything real world is a no go and if I have to keep looking at that stupid orange box that is the most unhelpful piece of crap I have ever seen tell me I violate the terms again for trying to put long hair on someone or a helmet, or make their sword being stabbed into the heart of an enemy something I cannot edit, I will just go back to hand drawing and be done with Adobe. I have investments into my own generative AI as I am certain others do as well. Giving us API access to point CC to our own AI is a fair thing to ask. This will absolve Adobe of responsibility for how we choose to use generative AI, and it will allow those of us who need to use it for something more than puppy dog tails and ice cream cones a way to use Generative AI how it was intended to be used, to create things. If that's not possible, how about instead of trying to avoid any kind of controversy you get out of the way, let adults be adults. If someone uses it for something illegal then call the police because you are not the police, you have no morals or moral compass as an entity, stop pretending to know whats best for people and instead do what you should be doing and that is to provide the service so we can use it how we see fit, and only intervene if someone does something illegal. That is a novel idea isn't it?

Oh thank you, thank you, so much for this. My partner and I have been saying much the same thing since we started using Generative-AI about 3 years ago. I'm utterly appalled at the "Big Brother" sensoring of my art. The fact that I can rarely use the word child without it automatically being assumed I'm trying to create something heinous is unreal. I so appreciated hearing you put into words the ideas I have had a hard time expressing.
