Adobe is an Ai company now. After their most recent conference, Adobe MAX, there was an uncomfortable amount of Ai centred talks and product features.
On top of their other issues such as confusing subscriptions, cancellation fees, killing Adobe XD, and training their Ai software on artists work without their permission.
With the creative software world getting more and more competitive, you would think Adobe would improve on the products they already have to stay ahead of the competition. But instead every new update seems to shoehorn a new Ai feature in that no one asked for.

    This year from Castore "We are thrilled to announce that today, we have completed a deal with Umbro licensee, GL Dameck to sign an exclusive Umbro Professional Team Sports sub-license. This sub-licence allows us to market the Umbro brand in the UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, and Denmark." - so in short, teams that are Umbro are actually now Castore, they deal with Castore. Castore has the kits manufactured. Essentially they realised their mistakes have no one signing deals. Similar to Castore Umbro now branches out, F1 too - Williams were Umbro. England rugby is Umbro, which a lot of rugby fans didn't like. So remarkably a brand that's considered worse than Macron, manages to continue growth.
