@ArmokGoB @kde Those statements sound reassuring but they don't mean much. Adobe can say anything it wants on a blog about what it is and isn't doing right now, but the TOS changes still explicitly protect their right to do those things if they want to, so they are free to just change their mind at any time, reassurances aside.

If Adobe really wants to reassure customers, they need to write those limitations on themselves and their activities into the TOS.

Depends. They have yet to update any legally binding (or official) documents like EULAs.

I'll believe it what I see, as it were.

"Trust us bro" from Adobe is worth zero.

This is PR bullshit. They have not changed their license one iota from what it was 2 days ago and, ultimately, the license is what goes. They have not corrected course. All they have done is asked users to trust them in a blog post. The problem with that is that blog posts are not legally binding and, in a field full of nasty, predatory and untrustworthy firms, Adobe is one of the nastiest, most predatory and least trustworthy . You do with that what you will.

How dare you present us with facts!

This isn't binding tho, Adobe could change their minds in a year and then legally train an AI on all the data they've collected. Their own blog post doesn't even preclude that, their AI language is present tense. In addition they could just license the data to other AI companies.
