Just for the record, Photoshop's first generative 'AI' feature, Content Aware Fill, is 15 years old.

That's a long time for Adobe not to have figured out what your are saying.

Photoshop is unapproachable to the 99%.

A faster GPT 4o will kill Photoshop for good.

  • Photoshop is a tool designed for the 1% of people who want that level of control for their vision. Adobe has several other tools for other markets.

    Even the latest model from this week, which is undeniably impressive, can’t get close to the level of control that photoshop gives me. It often edits parts of the image I haven’t asked it to touch among other issues. I use photoshop as a former photojournalist, and AI manipulated images are of no use to me. My photos are documentary. They represent a slice of reality. I know that AI can create a realistic simulacrum of that, but I’m not interested.

    This is like saying we won’t need text editors in the future. That’s silly, there are some things that we won’t need text editors for, but the ability of ai to generate and edit text files doesn’t mean that we won’t ever need to edit them manually.

  • Not a chance. Photoshop is about having maximum control and power. AI requires relinquishing a degree of control in exchange for speed. Totally different audiences.

    • Lol photoshop has been integrating AI features since at least "content aware" stuff was released. Photoshop has a massive audience of people who want to be able to edit images quickly and easily.
