      Adobe took one of the most widely used content creation software pipelines – Photoshop, Premiere, Acrobat, After Effects – and enshitified it and raised the price until nobody wants to use it.

      I don’t wonder why Shanty is stepping aside after his stock had such an over-achieving year.

      I can’t blame someone for not wanting to take part in this AI fuckfest. If I was CEO for 18 years, assuming I had some financial sense, I’d be set for life. Now seems like a great time to retire.

      it’s ALMOST like people don’t like a bunch of shitty pop ups pushing their 100 new half assed AI integrations and deceitful methods to push subscriptions . almost.

      The woes of the creative cloud side of the business are well known but the digital experience side of the business that makes up like 25% of their revenue is also a joke. They went out on an acquisition spree to build it and then never properly integrated it all together so it’s a hodge podge of shit that they sold to enterprise clients with a good sales team. Most enterprises have now woken up to that.

      Is this why I get “AI suggestions” to summarize a 2-page pdf because it is “too long”?

      Thanks to Adobe for pioneering the idea if you cancel early you have to pay out the remaining year as a „cancellation fee“

      Will Adobe be sort of a Block situation where workforce is reduced because of AI? I’m not all that close to the Adobe suite, but I was surprised to learn how vast their org chart is. I have no real vested interest in this biz but just a curious observer wondering how AI impacts all of these large cap tech companies

      I’ll tell you what Adobe is delivering. They’re auto-turning on their AI bullshit in Adobe Acrobat and sending the documents you open to their cloud without telling you. Just like Microsoft did with their Onedrive scam.

      All of these mother fuckers are actively stealing our documents.

      Man I just want to look at PDFs. I dont want a bunch of AI add ons making that take forever to load.

      Who is pressuring them? Not the actual customers cuz we don’t want that AI slop.

      I feel like it’s insane how they avoid the screaming. WE DOn’T WANT AI IF IT COSTS SO MUCH AND YOU ACTIVELY HATE YOUR CUSTOMERS.

      Adobe has been really struggling for a while to figure out how to implement AI into their subscription services in a way people actually desire. I remember searching the forums for how to solve a random issue in illustrator and one of the comments was an answer from an Adobe support person *soliciting people to offer feedback about new ways they’d like to see Adobe use AI in Illustrator.* The response was… very predictable, very direct, and *painfully* unkind.

      TLDR: Adobe is slowly discovering abandoning their core competencies to shoehorn AI into every nook and cranny is an excellent way to lose their userbase.

      A lot of the stuff “normal consumers” used Photoshop for can now be done with annotations and prompts in <choose your favorite LLM>. Adobe has a very tough road ahead.

      They tried so hard to catch AI and saw it coming so clearly but without a foundation model there’s no chance

      Why are shareholders so damn gung-ho about ai, this is the worst way for a technological advancement to happen, shareholders en masse know nothing about tech

    28. Old-Bat-7384 on

      How about less AI, less bloat, better optimization, and lower non-enterprise license fees?

      They’re doing Microsoft level shit and coasting real hard on smart decisions made decades ago and finding new ways to fuck that up.

      Shareholders mounting pressure to deliver AI.

      Consumers mounting pressure *not* to deliver AI.

      Used to be Inkscape was the cheaper and slightly clunkier Illustrator. Reading these comments has me wondering if it’s now just strictly better.

      Inkscape forever 🫶
