Adobe (ADBE) vs. Autodesk (ADSK): Which AI-Hit Software Stock Has the Better Comeback?

Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE) and Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK) have something unusual in common. Both are excellent software companies that have been punished by investors for fears that artificial intelligence could make their products less valuable. But the threat is not really the same. Adobe's biggest problem is that AI can make it dramatically easier to create images, videos, designs, and documents. Some of the work that once required expensive professional software can now be done with a prompt. Autodesk faces a different situation. Its software helps engineers, architects, manufacturers, and construction companies design things that eventually have to exist in the real world.
