The Adobe thing is some serious BS. I know a bunch of artists who are absolutely panicking over this.
-
Indeed. The company the artist relies on does everything in their power to fuck the artists over, then said artist who has spent the last 25 years learning and using Adobe suddenly has to learn all over again. Potentially losing income in the process.

Good luck with it. Been looking for some A.I. to generate artwork for the stories I write—strictly for my own amusement, not something to put out unless I thought it was really good, and even then not for moneh.

Understood. Please keep working with real people.
I’m not an artist myself but I’ve been supporting GIMP for many years. If they pulled the same stunt that Adobe has, I’d pull that on the spot. -

More power to you, Paul. I’m sorry you’re having to go through a Grand Uprooting… it’s as frustrating as hell when the tools you’ve grown with, start turning into muck.
I see similar things happening in software development, with “vibe coding” replacing real software engineering. The thought of AI hallucinations creeping into the development of safety-critical systems gives me a Bad Feeling About This.
Please let us know what you find works out for you!

Being uprooted and having to move to a new pathway – a lot of that is happening right now!!!
It’s like going through weeks of boot camp, again, but being 45+, and not being 18-25 anymore. It’s serious painful WORK!!! no matter what form it takes.
It’s like your home island is being swallowed by rising water levels and you have to move your whole community to another land.
It’s like your University Board of Regents have decided to goose-step in line with Trump and take your “now-censoring” University back to the Joe McCarthy days.
It’s like your favorite TV shows are being canceled because the CEO is scared of the government and not getting his multi-million dollar salary.
It’s like ICE’S agents are secretly ISIS agents and we have to be very alert to watch out for people in our own community.What!?!?

Yeah, Adobe begged Paul to uninstall until he did.
