My apologies upfront however after among the bulletins at Adobe Max it’s time for an additional rant… It was solely a matter of time earlier than Adobe would combine generative AI into Illustrator. At the present Adobe Max occasion they introduced 3 new AI fashions – Firefly 2, Firefly Illustrator, and Firefly Design.
Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen even used the “democratized creativity” line. What is that imagined to imply anyway? Art was by no means ‘gatekept’. Anyone may get a scrap of paper and a pen and draw – it didn’t want an AI device [or a subscription-based creative toolset]. Some selected to attract, get pleasure from it, and work exhausting at it, and others didn’t – easy as. It’s not a ‘unique talent’ or a ‘god-given skill’. Most of it’s simply apply and extra apply. Why does somebody who ‘doesn’t get pleasure from creating artwork’ want a device that makes photographs for him?
Can I cease writing tutorials now, cease recording movies concerning the inventive use of vector design instruments, or cease spending time on social media serving to others with their design and power questions? Heck no!
Understanding what you create, tips on how to design it, and methods to alter it to be what you need – reasonably than ‘close enough to what I imagined’ – is as vital because the consequence.
It simply means that there’s but one more reason I gained’t use Adobe’s inventive instruments anymore. In my humble opinion, their strategy doesn’t have the inventive group in thoughts however is solely geared at pleasing the shareholders.
