Adobe Creative Cloud quietly rewrites users' files with AI, hikes prices, sparking outrage.
Evil Hat Productions, a TTRPG and board game company, announced on Bluesky that the latest PDF files for their Umdaar game had injected autogenerated AI alt text, without warning. Other users are reporting that not only does alt text generate for undefined images, it also overwrites previously existing alt text.
Adobe raised their subscription fees from $59.99 to $69.99 a month, citing advanced AI features as the reason, while simultaneously injecting AI generated text into users' PDF files without permission.
Consider this reason #59,999 to dump adobe.
If you haven't already.
Adobe alternatives from XdanielArt (as of 2024, there is probably an updated collection by now).
This is fantastic! Thank you.
