Adobe now requires the Right to Acces your work

[cjmillercreative]

I just found out. 

[Link removed - see community guidelines on misleading information]

"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?

Who cares....much ado about nothing.  All this will lead to better AI tools.  Good for Adobe.

[John29246691en7x]

Spoken like someone who has no skin in the game.

[cjmillercreative]

Also spoken like someone who doesn't work on copyrights or ND content.... that's going to be huge issue for senstive, copyrighted material that's being created for major motion pictures and television (like what I do).

Better AI tools just means less jobs for humans. Though I believe you know that and are trolling.

[Jonathon37893329lrbp]

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. 

[mangurian]

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.

[Patty5EE8]

How many creatives can afford to take Adobe to court? 

[mangurian]

Not a problem.  If you have a case, a good lawyer would take it and collect your reward plus his fees from $2,000,000,000 Adobe.  I don't see what is causing this stress.  If you can't get over it, for your own health and good, dump Adobe.  I am glad I don't have a problem with their terms.

[Alex_R84]

You have a cruel way about you.

[MicahBurke]

This isn't about training data, this is about you using Generative services to create content. In order to generate contextually accuate content, Adobe has to sample your existing content - this means storing it in the cloud (aka someone else's computer) and then send it to an AI generation farm (someone else's computer), interrogate the content, and then send it back.  All of that requires that you give them the right to do so.

[dave12345645]

then they should limit their terms to that instead of making it vauge which allows them legally to do much much more

[cjmillercreative]

I would like to opt out of that, please. I've been designing for over 20 years and I'm just fine with not having ai help me out, thanks. 

[Alex_R84]

Why would I want Adobe to be able to use my art to make its generate tools better?

[D Fosse]

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.

[Mind the Mix]

Local storage is the only way to go.

hmm interesting. Then what's this?? It's forcing you to opt-in to update. 

[cjmillercreative]

Apologies, attachment came in low rez. Re-attached here. 

[davescm]

Please read the full documents attached above. The box requires you to agree to the terms and conditions, which refer to the document I linked above describing how to opt out of content analysis.

Seems to me that update should settle the arguments raised here and in other threads. And hopefully clear out some of the FUD.

We have to see this in context. Personally, I'm not full of trust in general these days, so I can understand some of these concerns. Other tech companies - we all know who - have eroded that for years. My solution to that has been to avoid them as much as I can.

But this is perfectly acceptable to me.

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

Everyone please read this update from Scott Belsky. More to come. Adobe is listening.

Really?

[davescm]

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