Adobe’s new terms of service update sparked outrage among users, who believed the company was forcing them to grant unlimited access to their content for training its generative AI, Firefly. The backlash prompted Adobe to clarify that it would not use user content to train AI without consent and gave users the option to opt out of content analytics. This controversy shed light on a climate of distrust among artists, with incidents of generated images being sold under artists’ names without consent. Despite Adobe’s assurances that the updated terms do not grant content ownership, many artists remain skeptical about the company’s intentions. The issue of nonconsensual use and monetization of copyrighted work by AI models is not new, as seen in previous cases of artists facing similar infringements. Adobe’s market dominance and potential threats to artists’ livelihoods have sparked a broader discussion on the company’s practices and monopoly in the creative industry.
