A developer at Krita noticed recently that in the settings for their Adobe Creative Cloud account, the company had opted them into a "content analysis" program whereby they could analyze your content using techniques such as machine learning. It has been taken to mean that it is using your images for its own purposes. They do, indeed. It's kind of. It isn't that easy.
A lot of software has an option to share information with the developer, but it's usually turned off during installation.
It's gross, but it's worse if you slip a new sharing method and opt existing users into it. Content analysis has been in place for a decade, according to Adobe. If machine learning was being used for this purpose a decade ago, that is impressive, as well as the fact that no one noticed. That doesn't seem likely. I think the policy has existed in one form or another.
The setting states that it is possible to use machine learning to analyze your content, but not for the purpose of training machine learning. The "Learn more" link says as much.
For example, we may use machine learning-enabled features to help you organize and edit your images more quickly and accurately. With object recognition in Lightroom, we can auto-tag photos of your dog or cat. In Photoshop, machine learning can be used to automatically correct the perspective of an image for you.
A machine learning analysis would allow Adobe to figure out how many people were using the program and how much they were using. Product decisions could be informed by that.
It's possible that the images and analysis will be used to train artificial intelligence models as part of the development of our products and services.
You need to make yours look like this. The image was created by Adobe.
Adobe does not use any data stored on customers' Creative Cloud accounts to train its Generative Artificial Intelligence features. The wording is clear and legal, making you think they are talking about something.
When we analyze your content for product improvement and development purposes, we first aggregate your content with other content and then use the aggregated content to train our algorithm and thus improve our products and services.
That's because it uses your content to train its methods. Maybe it's not the experimental Generative Artificial Intelligence Algorithms.
The AdobePhotoshop Improvement Program is an opt-in program that Adobe has for that purpose. It's possible that your photos are being used to train an artificial intelligence. It is possible that it could be manually reviewed, which is another thing.
If you value privacy, you should opt out of this program and any others. If you are a member of the site, you can do it right here.
