Yeah, they posted this:

> Hey, we're Adobe! We're here to connect with the artists, designers, and storytellers who bring ideas to life. What's fueling your creativity right now?

> Drop a reply, tag a creator, or share your latest work—we'd love to see what inspires you!

That's such a bland, corporate message. It feels totally inauthentic. Do Adobe (a corporation) really "love to see what inspires you" or do they just want engagement for their new account?

I'm not surprised in the slightest that it triggered a pile-on.

It’s so bland I don’t understand why it elicited any response at all.

The general mood on Bluesky is very opposed to AI, especially AI art. Since Adobe now has AI integrated into their products, people on Bluesky hate them.

Also, Adobe is in a weird place where it has a bunch of users who basically have to use its stuff, but _absolutely hate it_ due to its conduct over the last decade or so. Like, being annoyed with Adobe predates generative AI.
