“People will either agree with that conviction or they won’.”
need to embrace AI or get left behind
It should be noted that we’re hearing this a lot. But it should also be known that the only people saying it are the people making and selling AI.
Edit: I think I did hear this from Gartner, too, but from my experience, they have a bad habit of jumping onto hype bandwagons. So I’m taking it with a grain of salt.
How about we switch it around: “Artists are telling Adobe to embrace their creative needs or risk being left behind.” Adobe is forgetting that Artists are the ones providing their revenue
* companies paying enormous fees
Artists are dumb enough to still use Adobe, so they probably get away with it.
It should be noted that Adobe can fuck right off, and computerized art is not the only kind of art. It is generous to even call it art. It’s still all called graphics in my opinion.
I think they’re worried.
Adobe can fuck off and die
Is 2024 the year of gimp?
I would add Sumatra PDF and Okular to this list
And GhostScript!
Pandoc and LaTeX as an alternative to InDesign for book and paper publishing. Obviously not a direct replacement since they are macro languages and not GUI tools, but they are free and open source and capable of creating great looking output if you put in the time. There’s tons of free learning resources out there too.
Dope af
Without constant influx of fresh art, AI will devolve into deep-fried absurdist memes. :)
Adobe executives need to embrace being dropped in favor of non-AI programs or be left behind.
Adobe execs are idiots. F*ck them
I’m at an absolute loss as to why people use Adobe. It’s hot garbage and the price is WAY out of league. It’s a shining example of the open market not existing/working as advertised.
It’s exactly because of capitalism that everyone is using it. Adobe bought off and killed all alternatives projects. So most people are now dependent on Adobe for their workflows. There are alternatives now, but people are still being dumbasses and are sticking with Adobe instead of taking a small loss to re-learn with alternatives.
