Adobe employees slam the company over AI controversy: 'Let's avoid becoming like IBM


Adobe faces internal and external criticism over a Terms of Use update that suggested customer content might be used to train AI models.

One employee suggested that Adobe should come up with "a long-term communication and marketing plan outside of blog posts," and meet with the company's most prominent critics on YouTube and social media to "correct the misinformation head-on." They pointed out that Adobe faced similar controversies in the past over allegations of charging early termination fees and deploying "dark patterns" to trick users into signing a 12 month contract. According to screenshots of an internal Slack channel, obtained by Business Insider, Adobe employees complained about the company's poor response to the controversy and demanded a better long-term communication plan.
