Editorial and Education vs. Commercial in Photoshop Beta

Thanks for your response Kevin.

I've communicated directly with an Adobe employee about this but it seems Adobe does not want to answer this question with a direct and specific answer. It seems they want to leave it in the rather vague "personal and not commercial" use language.

But to be fair, Microsoft has taken the same position with the Bing AI Image Creator. 

My guess is these corporations are trying to be as vague as they can while they are trying to figure out how they are going to work these technologies into their business models. And I can't blame them for that regardless how frustrating it is to not be able to get a direct and specific answer to the question of whether Adobe considers editorial and education use of their AI generated images as "commercial."

But having both trademarks and copyrights myself, and considering how many individuals are using Adobe and Microsoft AI generated images in publications with ads (which is a commercial use) and also paying writers to write the articles (which is a commerical use)  I am proceeding under the assumption (my bad?) that both editorial and education are considered "non-commercial" as is generally defined under trademark guidelines. Otherwise Adobe wouldn't allow Adobe AI generated images in those commerical publications (i.e. publications with ads) and they wouldn't allow writers to write articles about Adobe AI generated images using Adobe AI generated images, since that would also be a "commerical" use of Adobe AI generated images.

And I have see A LOT of articles about Adobe AI generated images in "commercial" publications that are using Adobe AI generated images in the articles. 

But as everything else in this fast moving world of new technology, I think we will soon find out what the reality is.

But it would be nice if both Adobe and Microsoft would craft a more difinitive definition of "commercial" use instead of playing that game of hiding behind a veil of "indefinate and obscure" as they are currently doing with their guidence to their users. 

Adobe users deserve better than that.
