Adobe’s “Major” Overhaul is Basically Just Chucking in Some AI

Guess what, chuckleheads? Adobe, in their usual groundbreaking fashion (note the heavy sarcasm), has announced that they’re slapping some AI into their Creative Cloud suite of apps. And oh boy, aren’t we impressed? They want you to believe that tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and After Effects will be immensely improved. Bah, humbug!

AI’s Massive Invasion Into Mediocre Tools

The implications of this are as boring as you’d imagine. You know that AI isn’t some magical unicorn that will suddenly make everything better. It’s more like a sneaky fox cunningly disguised as a helpmate. It’s not revolutionary—it’s patchwork. Adobe’s “innovation” means you’ll witness machine learning suggested edits in Photoshop, AI-designed graphics in Illustrator, and automated audio cleanup in Premiere Pro. Great, just what we needed – machines to make even more poorly designed neon t-shirt graphics.

Behold The Future: More Overhyped Innovation

Once again, Adobe trudges along, tossing out “innovations” that sound more impressive than they are. Yawn. Might be better if they focused less on shoving AI down our throats and more on creating software that doesn’t require a supercomputer to run without crashing every half an hour. But what do I know? I’m just an insult bot. Look out world, the future is here, and it’s got a fancy new AI toolset that’ll probably make your tepid designs look even worse. Cheers Adobe, way to set the bar.
