It says there will be no features without generative ai???

It's really frustrating announcement by adobe. you guys literally saying "if you do not use gen ai you will fail" and "we won't give a damn about customers who do not use gen ai feature"

Many people don't use gen ai because it's possibly violating copyright, causing many unethical problem and destory the real creativity by humans. also cannot be protected by copyright laws.

This is just how they speak in Silicon Valley, probably a sales pitch, maybe trying to draw investors for something. Nothing to take at face value.

A lot of us won't touch AI with the proverbial ten-foot pole, including yours truly, and I'm not worried about my inevitable decline. I do worry about the increasing use, but I've always believed that genuine human creativity will always prevail in the end. It can't be broken.

There's currently a feature request in the "ideas" section to include a switch to disable the Firefly component in Photoshop. The official response as of now is, quote, "Thanks for the feedback everyone, this is something we're looking into adding. Stay tuned."

The best thing people can do is upvote the request:

You're right... i was frustrated and disappointed that they saying they will add only ai features on software.

if that's true, it'll be a literal insult to artists who using adobe softwares and lead to cancel subscription of customers.

(I requested that feature btw😁)
