It's incredibly insulting to the devoted userbase that a whole new generation of hacks are being lured and encouraged to quickly crank out an approximation of the work we painstakingly created for generations. If Adobe wants to dabble in AI software it should be a separate standalone program, NOT included in existing programs. The fact that the subscription price is also going up is only more deeply insulting. I truly resent the way Adobe is treating us and from now on will discourage people from using it. I'll be encouraging younger people to embrace one of the competitors instead until Adobe shows some loyalty to the people who've keep them in business since the 90s.

Please add an option in preferences (for all Adobe Software) the ability to deactivate the generative features. Some of the features are nice from time to time, but mostly, as an artist, I prefer to struggle a bit to create what I need to create. If you need to have notices for the new features, by all means add those to the notifications section and I can go check them out there. I really don't want to have prompts in the UI, that's just bad — your UI/UX designer should be fired for this!

Not everyone using Illustrator are new to it. I've been using Illustrator daily it for the last 31 years. (only 11,000+ days) I stay up to date, I research the new features. I don't need to spoon-fed.

Have the option available for people who are new, like Rich Tool Tips — those who need them use them, the ones who find them disruptive can turn them off.

Also, all the other AI generation suggestions that cannot be hidden. Like the print bleed generator icon that cannot go away. This also applies to other AI generator things that should have a hide or disable button, as this is unprofessional and deeply annoying, as it distracts from the workspace and the work.

Opening files and this annoying popup covers my work. Nothing works to remove it. How am I supposed to work with this in the middle of my screen???
It stays even after closing my files.

what the **** is wrong with you adobe??? you have got to stop this. you are exhibiting monopolistic behaviors...

this is a joke. i'm paying for this software, very expensive software. and the last thing i want is a disruptive reminder about how AI is coming for my job. What are you doing adobe???

The Generative AI in Adobe Illustrator pop-up is super disruptive (it won't go away unless I shut down Illustrator) plus as an artist, I have no interest in AI for the art I produce. The popup is annoying, it gets in my way, and I can't get it to stop showing up. I pay a lot for Adobe products each month and I do not appreciate this "advertising" for something I will never use. Please, please make it stop!
