Nearly twenty years ago (!), I wrote here about how The Killing’s Gotta Stop<\/a>\u2014ironically, perhaps, about then-new Microsoft apps competing with Adobe. I rejected false, zero-sum framing then, and I reject it now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having said that, my buddy Bilawal’s provocative framing in this video gets at something important: if Adobe doesn’t get on its game, actually delivering the conversational editing capabilities we publicly previewed<\/a> 2+ years ago, things are gonna get bad<\/em>. I’m reminded of the axiom that “AI will not replace you, but someone using AI just might.” The same goes for venerable old Photoshop competing against AI-infused & AI-first tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In any case, if you’re interested in the current state of the art around conversational editing (due to be different within weeks, of course!), I think you’ll enjoy this deep dive into what is\u2014and isn’t\u2014possible via Gemini:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
