Adobe Firefly: AI Art Generator

Obviously requires an Adobe account, which hints at it being folded into their subscription pricing. I wonder if this is a customer retention move given the number of third-party plugins to use Dall-E, SD, Midjourney, etc. with Photoshop.

(I also wonder who is powering this or if it's an in-house solution -- that should be telling...)

Edit: Why, they've trained this on Adobe stock images. OK, this may be very interesting for publications worried about copyright.

Closed beta. Requesting access requires filling out a four page form. Product page is a bunch of hand-selected images.

Nothing to see here.

Interesting that the large company AI products (this, Microsoft copilot, etc) are so much more compelling than any of the startups I’ve seen.

Makes me think that we haven’t seen what true innovation looks like in this space. Right now, AI is a feature, not a product.

Edit: Not talking about the models themselves (stability, mid journey, GPT-x), talking about what is built on those models.

How is this 'Firefly Model' trained and sourced? Will it be on the contents of the stock.adobe.com library?

Clicking through the available pages it seems like a lot of 'coming soon' talk, so there's not really any detail about any of the underlying process.
