Turns out that Adobe is collecting all of its customers' pictures into a machine learning training set.

This is opt-out, not opt-in so if you use Lightroom, for example, it defaults to adding all of your photos to the set.

If these are unpublished pictures, work-in-progress, etc. they'll still be analysed as soon as they're synced.

I've been using Lightroom to sync photos from my Windows desktop to my iPad. Now I need to reconsider that.

@baldur this is scary. But nevertheless the future. Maybe they plan an AI generator like MidJourney or sell information to a platform like that. I know Shutterstock just did.
@lara @baldur i strongly assume they are simply using the data for image classification, people recognization, smart healing, and AI-based auto-optimization which are all stuff i am happy to use.
