Their response is basically "we won't abuse it".

Even if we trust them, this response is not good enough for any project under NDA. Unless I can, somehow, put Adobe under the NDA, it's not helping.

Never mention most of us don't actually trust them to be not abusing.

Anyone remember when Instagram changed their TOS and then said "trust us"? And now they're training AI on it.

Nobody's falling for it, Adobe.

All of the stuff that they're saying in that response about how they won't abuse it is stuff that's already in the TOS. If you don't trust them despite that, then you should not be using their products regardless of what the TOS says.

I think we all know that, but we are also commenting on how it’s an awful tack to take for them and that this is likely not for “content moderation” only but for intelligence gathering, AI training, and also opens up all your content for industrial espionage because it leaves what little bit of control you have over your data that Adobe is spying on for themselves and others.

Their response states that the data will be used for the improvement of existing products and services. They offer generative AI as a service. So "we won't abuse it" may be about using the data for something else.

Every time I read corpo-speak like the voice in my head is Joe Isuzu.
