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If these are unpublished pictures, work-in-progress, etc.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 it's not quite what it seems. This is an old setting with badly worded prose. I can't comment too much on it due to corp things but it's not the situation it appears. Hopefully comms will get it's act together soon and clarify what's going on here.
Mega corps can't help but shoot themselves in our feet it seems
@bendelarre Yeah, the way it's worded would explicitly give Adobe the permission to build a Midjourney style product with our photos.
Given everything else that's going on, I think it'd be reasonable for everybody to go and make sure that toggle is turned off.
