this won't resound well for adobe if they're aware and they let this happen

but then, imagine if an artist made a drawing of a child looking at the ruins made by Israeli bombs. Would it too be a scandal?

Art history is filled with paintings of massacres. Paintings that are considered masterpieces

The difference is, we KNOW paintings and drawings aren’t real. We can tell by looking at them at a glance. The same can’t be said of these photorealistic images.

if we take what you say as true, then the problem is not about adobe selling generated images of actual suffering but that these images may cause confusion, disinformation.

"for me", if there is a problem, it lies in the aforementioned question: why do we need generated images of gaza when we have a flux of photographs, videos, writings and interviews that show/tell us the actual suffering there?

Is not when you can watch live feed from tiktok, snapchat, instegram of real people vlogging their day to day. Along with journalist.
