The test then prompts the user to choose the environment in which it will be used, at home, outdoors, or on a business trip and so on. Finally, a customized Mac is recommended based on your budget and external device usage.

Adobe Clarifies It Will Not Use User Artwork for AI Training
On June 19, Adobe updated its product terms of service, adding several new subcategories to the section on Adobe’s access to user content, including one specifically for generative AI.
The terms make it clear that Adobe’s software will not use your local or cloud-based content to train generative AI models, with the only exception being that if you submit your work to the Adobe Stock Marketplace, Adobe can use it to train an AI tool called Adobe Firefly. The new terms also address user concerns about Adobe scanning content protected by non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), emphasizing that Adobe does not scan or view local work stored on users’ devices, but only automatically scans content uploaded to the cloud to ensure that it is not hosting illegal or abusive content. Adobe will only conduct manual reviews if a work is flagged or reported as illegal or opted into a pre-release, beta or Adobe Product Improvement Program.
