John,
They knew it back in ancient Greece, when the playwright Aeschylus said, Truth is the first casualty of war. And the ancient Greeks didn’t even have to deal with ChatGPT, “deepfake” audio and video files, or Artificial Intelligence (AI) making up realistic-looking images from whole cloth.
AI is harmless enough if it’s creating images of cute puppy chefs baking chocolate chip cookies. But now, Adobe is profiting from selling AI-generated images of the Israel-Gaza war.
The realities of the atrocities of war will only be blurred by the distribution of fictional images, to the point that people will not know what to believe. Yet Adobe is supplying these images to anyone who buys them, with no requirements that they be identified as fakes -- if the purchasers even know it themselves.
Tell Adobe Systems CEO Shantanu Narayen to stop selling AI-generated images of the Israel-Gaza war and all other such conflicts now!
As in the story of the boy who cried wolf, the signal gets lost in the noise. When people don’t know what to believe, they believe nothing. The reality of unspeakable human suffering becomes just another story with no way to tell if it’s real.
Adobe has now publicly recognized it needs to set clear policies for their users to identify when they are using AI-generated images, but this is not enough.
To really be certain their AI-generated images are not misused, Adobe must stop selling them altogether.
It’s unconscionable for any company to profit from selling something so misleading, when people’s lives and suffering are at stake. Adobe is beginning to respond to our public pressure, but we must not relent until they do the right thing and eliminate these sales altogether.
Sign and send your letter today and tell Adobe: Don’t add more to the fog of war. Stop selling fake images of war and violence that blur the reality of human suffering.
Thank you for pressing the AI industry to get out of the business of spreading lies.
