Machine Learning setting in General Preferences

[leighv123]

Sorry for the long post... but this is very important.

Given the recent attention Adobe has been given with regard to their Terms of Service and their confusing responses - for example, telling customers "We don't trrain generative AI models o your content unless you choose to submit it to the Adobe Stock Marketplace" as quoted from the video titled Adobe Terms of Use Update, presented on Adobes youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VETOSYXL7LY. 

However, if you have Photoshop and have been participating in their Photoshop Improvement Program... then this is EXACTLY what Adobe claims you give them permission to do (see attached image 01).  Because without telling customers, they added an extra option and checked the box without users consent. It is titled "I give Adobe permission to use my images and associated data to train Adobe's generative AI models".  

So now... like so many other people, I have major trust issues with Adobe... which brings me to my question.
Can somebody please explain to me what the Machine Learning option in the Sampler General Preferences does (attached image 02).  How does having it turned off differ from having it turned on?

The only information from the Sampler Documentation says "Enable or disable the GPU accelerated Neural Networks to improve the performance of the applications." (attached image 03). 
Thank you.

Hello,

With this option enabled, you will get better performance on recent GPUs. It leverages some new capabilities offered by latest GPUs. On old GPUs, if this option is enabled, some crashes may occur.

If the option is disabled, you will get the same result but it will take longer to compute with your GPU.

Hope it answers your question.
