I'm making some big assumptions about Adobe's product ideation process, but: This seems like the "right" way to approach developing AI products: Find a user need that can't easily be solved with traditional methods and algorithms, decide that AI is appropriate for that thing, and then build an AI system to solve it.

Rather than what many BigTech companies are currently doing: "Wall Street says we need to 'Use AI Somehow'. Let's invest in AI and Find Things To Do with AI. Later, we'll worry about somehow matching these things with user needs."

I don't think it's a Big Tech problem. Big Tech can come up with moronic ideas and be fine because they have unlimited cash. It's the smaller companies that need to count pennies who decide to flush the money down the AI Boondoggle Toilet.

"But Google does it. If we do it, we will be like Google".

Were you in my meeting about 40 minutes ago? Because that's almost exactly what was said.

If the big tech companies wanted to be really evil, they could invent a nonsense tech that doesn't work, then watch as all the small upstart competitors bankrupt themselves to replicate it.

Isn't this what AI is all about? Don't kid yourself, most companies, even some big ones, will bankrupt themselves chasing AI and the few remaining will get the spoils.

It seems that’s just the way things go with disruptive technologies. It’s a gold rush and you don’t want to be left behind.
