Sorry, but how on earth does this give off AI vibes? It’s just a plain 'ol photo of a long pencil case or something that someone has photoshopped a very non-AI-generated-looking Subway logo on, with the clear, humorous implication that this is a Subway® Subcase™ for transporting your soggy footlong
It wasn’t exactly a complaint but my comment to be moderate about it because I don’t want the community to take this direction. As long it’s creative, in lower amounts, and looks quality then I’m fine with it as long the community is fine with it.
Yes, it’s true; chanting “Photoshop” in front of a mirror three times will make the words THOMAS KNOLL SEETHARAMAN NARAYANAN appear along with a fully binding contract releasing all rights to the name
Its happened before and I recon Photoshop is pretty close.
Here are some trademarks that become public domain Aspirin, Xerox, Kleenex, Q-Tips. The only reason Photoshop has retained its trademark is because adobe makes significant effort to police their rights to it. This means that adobe doesn’t want you to call editing a photo photoshoping as that opens the door for it to become a common term and thus in the public domain.
Tldr: if we continue to use the word “Photoshop” in a generic sense then it will eventually force it into pubic domain regardless of adobes desires.

Okay yeah, I can understand the complaints with that added bit of context. They couldn’t even bother rotating the logo for that one, lol

I get that but if it gets used as a common phrase enough adobe loses rights to the name and it becomes open to everyone?
People should think of Gimp instead of Photoshop
