Adobe Photoshop comes to ChatGPT

OpenAI's efforts to make ChatGPT the everything app are getting help from the internet's leading editing tools, with the launch of a new chatbot-Adobe Photoshop integration.

The partnership will let users harness the natural language processing power of ChatGPT to do the photoshopping for them, like fine tuning details, blurring backgrounds, and applying custom effects.

It's an effort to "make creativity accessible for everyone," Adobe digital media president David Wadhwani wrote. "Now hundreds of millions of people can edit with Photoshop simply by using their own words, right inside a platform that’s already part of their day-to-day.”

ChatGPT users can also access Adobe Express, the company's all-in-one content creation tool, and document manager Adobe Acrobat directly in chats, with the option to have ChatGPT generate and edit PDFs or customize premade documents with your personal information. Adobe has been exploring AI-assisted content generation over the last year, which included the recent debut of AI assistants for Photoshop and Adobe Express.

Meanwhile, OpenAI has pivoted to more consumer-facing products, like its new collaboration with grocery delivery service Instacart. Under the partnership, Instacart subscribers will be able to use ChatGPT to meal prep, shop, and order groceries at their request. The AI giant has been in a "code red," according to CEO Sam Altman, amping up its output and retooling its popular model in response to increased industry competition and declining users — the business is also facing multiple lawsuits.

Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.
