Tucker was a rambunctious shelter dog that no one wanted. Until Laura came along and saw that he might be just right for her home...and a special job. Could all his energy make him an amazing #conservation #dog?

Any math and creative wizards out there who can show us how much water Adobe Max used during its AI-propoganda keynote yesterday? I'd be curious.

After getting bludgeoned with AI garbage at Adobe Max for three hours, I needed some time in the woods with my person.

I take it back. If you miss the kind of unfiltered cringe the likes if which only E3 could provide, Adobe Max has you covered.

the adobe max stuff and sharing a million genai features pisses me off so much because if you're a designer you HAVE to lie to say any of this is good for the profession.

One hour of pushing AI slop on Adobe Max 🥴 Watching them do mental gymnastics to try to convince a crowd of creatives that the only real benefit to their AI tools is "saving time." No thanks, I'd rather spend the time to learn.
@adobe.com The Opening Keynote for Adobe MAX is so focused on A.I. that it is off-putting. I am not the only one. The Discord attendee channel is 90% annoyed. I don't feel any FOMO by turning off the keynote.

2yrs ago, I rode my e-bike in severe pain. Pain I'd had since suffering a traumatic injury 10+ years ago. The realization that I'd suffer in pain the rest of my life was overwhelming. I had the urge to ride into traffic. Yesterday, I rode a regular bike with almost no pain. I'm truly grateful.

If you're tempted to use AI in your creative process: don't. You'll just stunt your own abilities, and it's your unique abilities that will help you stand out as the tidal wave of AI "slop" builds.
