@baldur I can't imagine how these products pass legal review.

It's *not* "stealing", FFS! Where do you think that *any* companies get the image data ("billions of images") that informs their AI algorithms? Adobe has never kept this a secret: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/manage-account/using/machine-learning-faq.html Unlike many though, it would appear I did my due diligence first... @keithreeder @sk @baldur #Adobe: 'It's not *literally* "stealing" if we warned our customers in the fine print we were gonna do it' It's easily conceivable that #AI will outperform #HomoSapiens while simultaneously behaving more ethically. @baldur @sk Yeah, the last ten years or so have seen a perverse spreading of loopholes and generous expansion of blanket protection for companies (See also: Every pharmaceutical commercial now has as part of its muttered safety info the following “Do not take [X] if you’re allergic to [X].” We tend to just click on the TOS box, often bc trying to slog through the miles of benign boilerplate in search of the tiny (and increasingly toxic) poison pills is exhausting. |
@sk @baldur Yes, is #adobe really allowed to steal someone’s copyrighted works, simply because they contracted with the designer that was using Adobe, if that designer didn’t click opt out, because adobe hid it in TOS?
