Sorry, but how on earth does this give off AI vibes? It's just a plain 'ol photo of a long pencil case or something that someone has photoshopped a very non-AI-generated-looking Subway logo on, with the clear, humorous implication that this is a Subway® Subcase™ for transporting your soggy footlong

    Okay yeah, I can understand the complaints with that added bit of context. They couldn't even bother rotating the logo for that one, lol

    It wasn't exactly a complaint but my comment to be moderate about it because I don't want the community to take this direction. As long it's creative, in lower amounts, and looks quality then I'm fine with it as long the community is fine with it.

    I get that but if it gets used as a common phrase enough adobe loses rights to the name and it becomes open to everyone?

    Yes, it's true; chanting "Photoshop" in front of a mirror three times will make the words THOMAS KNOLL SEETHARAMAN NARAYANAN appear along with a fully binding contract releasing all rights to the name

    Its happened before and I recon Photoshop is pretty close.

    Here are some trademarks that become public domain Aspirin, Xerox, Kleenex, Q-Tips. The only reason Photoshop has retained its trademark is because adobe makes significant effort to police their rights to it. This means that adobe doesn't want you to call editing a photo photoshoping as that opens the door for it to become a common term and thus in the public domain.

    Tldr: if we continue to use the word "Photoshop" in a generic sense then it will eventually force it into pubic domain regardless of adobes desires.
