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."

this BigTech strategy or perhaps also Big money strategy is a common feature of all hype bubbles, see XML as an example.

Perhaps caused by the people with the big money not knowing anything about the technology but having a feeling that this will produce some valuable things, therefore throw a bunch of money at everything, those things that survive will reward us, the other stuff we write off.
