"Our automated systems may analyze your Content and Creative Cloud Customer Fonts (defined in section 3.10 (Creative Cloud Customer Fonts) below) using techniques such as machine learning in order to improve our Services and Software and the user experience. Information on how Adobe uses machine learning can be found here: http://www.adobe.com/go/machine_learning."

You cannot opt out of allowing them to access your work anymore... So basically by using this software, you're allowing their ai tool to possibly generate in the same style of your work. Even ND and copyrighted conent.

Adobe, would you like to respond?

While I fully understand that people are concerned about these matters - I'm concerned - it's also clear that the message has been received at Adobe, loud and clear.

The bottom line is that to operate these services at all, the user has to grant certain permissions, outlined in the video in Stephen's post above. That's not going away. So the alternative is to shut down these services.

It's a good thing that the public is waking up and actually reading the terms, we've just been passively accepting for too long. That's fine. But terms of service is something we cannot avoid in this internet world. Just have a realistic notion of what they actually imply, and that video is a good place to start. FUD helps no one.

too operate the service you to grant adobe rights too your IP? Where they can do what ever they want including selling your belongings, they can remotely access you work stored locally even when you've opt out of the services that does that and then they can do what ever they want. I used their beta service recently so right now my work belongs to adobe. I paid adobe to use their service they should pay me for taking my IP. Stop lying they don't need to take anyone's IP to improve anything and if they need people's work..... pay them for a limited us. Adobe do better. And stop this nonsense subscription service people are tired. Also if one more so called expert sends a link to a fake article I'm reporting you all for being bots. It's like you work for adobe.

Honestly stop lying to people i read the terms of condition and the end result is the samething. also all those fake articles adobe paid for aren't fooling anyone. rather adobe changes or people start looking at other routes.

This entire OP is unfortunate misinformation that is being repeated instead of referencing the correct info.

I do not understand this thread's long life. Why not look at the alternatives:

1. If you don't care what Adobe does with your content, keep on truckin'.

2. If you do care, but the usefullness of Adobe products outweighs your concerns, keep on truckin'.

3. If you do care and you imagine some great harm to you (either financial, intellectual, or physical) that is an unacceptable risk, go elsewhere.

let's end this thread, it is going nowhere. p.s. I fall in category 1.

I am a professional digital artist working with Legendary and other companies and frankly, there are serious copyright concerns here. Even with data that we made earlier, that needs to be addressed. If you personally have no stakes, then your responses are pointless.

Yes really. Also that video is misleading, suggesting it would not be possible to work under NDA.

From time to time people get upset about Adobe's terms of service - when things that are a hundred times worse happen all the time without anyone raising an eyebrow. Do you use google? chrome? facebook, instagram? Do you have an Apple or Microsoft account? Do you have a phone? Do you drive a newish car? Good luck with your privacy there.

This is concerning to me, there should be an option to opt out of this and not have our artwork accessed for the AI. in my discussion with a representative from adobe, they said it would only be used to assist in your artwork and any data gathered for the AI would not be matched with another user. But I wonder how it would have any information to start with in order to work, and what garauntee do we have they won't change their mind later and then sell or use that data elsewhere.

If your photo has monetary value, simply put a watermark in a margin. This is additional protection of your copyright. Do you really think Adobe would sell your photo and risk a lawsuit? Adobe is worth over 205 billion dollars........violating your rights is not worth it.

Where is the elsewhere they might use your data that could harm you? Don't stew over this nothingburger.
