First impressions of Adobe's ethical image AI.
I've had a chance to play with the beta version of #Firefly from @AdobeVideo . This is their new, Generative Image AI. The big claim of Firefly is that all the images used in the system come from #AdobeStock rather than any other sources. This arguably makes Firefly an ethical AI image generator.
Because of the nature of videos about Image AI I do spend a few minutes discussing the current issues, before I jump into using Firefly. And that's partially because there's not much i need to show you. I found Firefly simple to use, easy to get results and quite fun. There is no learning curve and no hidden tricks.
