Photoshop is all in on generative AI, and it wants you to give it a whirl, too. Adobe has added a number of AI features to its premiere photo editor over the past few years; if you use Photoshop regularly, you've probably seen these pop up on your task bars. I spend a lot of time reviewing AI image generators and other AI creative software, so I had to put the original photo editor's AI to the test.

The word was meant to project power, certainty, and victory. Instead, it has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. Within days, “obliterated” morphed into an online punchline, mocked by critics and meme-makers across social media platforms. It has become the latest in a long line of Trumpian catchphrases
