Adobe has promised to update its terms of service to make it “abundantly clear” that the company will “never” train generative AI on creators’ content after days of customer backlash, with some saying they would cancel Adobe subscriptions over its vague terms.

Users got upset last week when an Adobe pop-up informed them of updates to terms of use that seemed to give Adobe broad permissions to access user content, take ownership of that content, or train AI on that content. The pop-up forced users to agree to these terms to access Adobe apps, disrupting access to creatives’ projects unless they immediately accepted them.

For any users unwilling to accept, canceling annual plans could trigger fees amounting to 50 percent of their remaining subscription cost. Adobe justifies collecting these fees because a “yearly subscription comes with a significant discount.”

    I’ve been using Krita for art and I really like it. The FOSS tools have been getting increasingly better and better, Blender, Godot, and Krita are the ones I’ve used recently and I love them so much.

    Now I just want better FOSS video editing.

      Kdenlive is acceptable for small video editing but I suppose you mean something up to the standard of Davinci Resolve or close

        Yeah, the FOSS tools right now are usable but they’re nowhere near on the level of stuff like Blender.

        I’m hoping that eventually the FOSS tools get on par or exceed commercial ones… though it’s going to take time.

      Did some basic video editing in blender and was pleasantly surprised, did you give that a whirl?
