So far, Adobe's AI hasn’t really taken off in its early stages and hasn't met the subscription numbers they were expecting. From what I've read, it seems like they're a bit confused about why adoption has been slow within the design community. To me, it’s a bit like our coffee habits: why spend $5 on a Starbucks coffee when you can get something nearly as good at McDonald's or Tim's for half the price? Right now, Adobe’s solution, as it often is, is to raise the monthly subscription for Creative Cloud to meet their revenue goals. Their main focus, unfortunately, seems to be keeping shareholders happy. Unfortunately, it most often comes at the expense of their customers.

Confession; I use ChatGPT (paid version) almost every day for tasks like rewriting emails, creating callouts from articles for magazines I’m designing, reworking proposals or quotes, generating code for website functions, or even helping me figure out whether I should take my dog to the vet or adjust his diet and for troubleshooting suggestions.
