My apologies upfront however after taking a look at a number of the bulletins at Adobe Max it’s time for one more rant… It was solely a matter of time earlier than Adobe would combine generative AI into Illustrator. On 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’s that presupposed to imply anyway? Artwork was by no means ‘gatekept’. Anybody 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 arduous at it, and others didn’t – easy as. It’s not a ‘distinctive expertise’ or a ‘god-given ability’. Most of it’s simply observe and extra observe. Why does somebody who ‘doesn’t get pleasure from creating artwork’ want a device that makes pictures for him?
Can I cease writing tutorials now, cease recording movies in regards to the artistic use of vector design instruments, or cease spending time on social media serving to others with their design and gear questions? Heck no!
Understanding what you create, how you can design it, and methods to alter it to be what you need – moderately than ‘shut sufficient to what I imagined’ – is as vital because the end result.
It simply means that there’s but one more reason I received’t use Adobe’s artistic instruments anymore. In my humble opinion, their strategy doesn’t have the artistic neighborhood in thoughts however is solely geared at pleasing the shareholders.
