People Aren't Happy with Adobe's Spyware-Like Terms of Service Update

Users of Photoshop, Substance 3D, and other Adobe products are now required to provide the company with unlimited access to their creations.

According to Adobe's new spyware-esque TOS, the company can access and view your creations through both automated and manual methods and even analyze your work using techniques such as machine learning. This has led many to believe that the company intends to use all user-generated content to train its AI models – a suspicion that aligns with Adobe's recent focus on generative artificial intelligence. Considering that the changes to the TOS were apparently made as early as February 2024 and have remained unchanged since then, it wouldn't be unfair to assume that Adobe might adopt a wait-it-out approach and refrain from taking any action to address the public outcry.
