      They also force you into a year long subscription but they pose it as month to month. Then when you try to cancel they force you to pay 50% of the remaining balance for the year. Fuck adobe.

        Ha, you seemingly did the same oopsie as me, lol. Got a 6 month membership for half price on black Friday. Redeemed ist and suddenly had 2 subscriptions, because they were not compatible. Had to pay a month extra for cancelling my yearly subscription. Never again. :D

      That’s nearly every company making image generation AI right now. Stealing from creators is all the rage, and I’ve yet to see a reasonable defense of this by AI users.

        Look you aren’t going to stop this bad thing going on, so why not just support the bad thing going on and stop complaining? Personally I have made a lot of money off this bad thing so I am struggling to see what is bad about it? Your numerous examples about this bad thing hurting other people and the earth don’t work on me since I have spent a long time listening to white guys explain to me how to completely destroy my capacity for empathy for other human beings and now I am functionally a sociopath.

        Besides anyways, all art is stealing so what is wrong with condescendingly shitting on artists and art in general as an idea by drowning spaces that used to be public squares full of vibrant human art with crappy cynical slop generated by a computer?
