>When you use Paint Cocreator, we apply content filtering and have other safeguards in place to prevent the generation of images that may be harmful, offensive, or inappropriate, and we are continuing to optimize how Paint Cocreator works based on real-world usage and feedback. If it's anything like their current Dall-E 3 filtering, the only things you will be able to generate without triggering any warnings or filte…

It’s funny how most of us have never run into a single case of these AI tools censoring us, and others seem to get constantly censored for doing nothing wrong.

I have to say that it's beyond funny that Adobe is currently parading the same feature as the groundbreaking new thing in Photoshop and then Microsoft just goes and puts it in paint.

This is quite an exaggeration. Integrating DALL-E into MS Paint has basically no similarities to the vast gen AI feature set announced by Adobe. - Firefly Vector model - Generated templates - Res-up upscaling for videos and gifs - Fast-fill for videos - Distractor removal - Individual item replacement Too many to mention. Not to say OpenAI/MS are not capable of building similar features. Just that Adobe's tools are i…

Technically I don't doubt a single word you say, you're clearly familiar with the matter and I'm not. But as a layman standing on the sidelines the two look the same.

The most basic app getting a most advanced feature.

Well they removed all paint "features" so they desperately need a new one.

It seems that the only intelligence left at Microsoft is the artificial one.

Looks like the pricing model is different. The linked article only mentions "50 credits" with no further details, but this page[1] says it's $15 for 115 credits. In comparison, Adobe's Firefly appears to be 25 credits per month for free or $4.99 for 100[2]. But I guess users are already paying a monthly subscription fee to use Adobe products, so maybe Paint comes out to be cheaper. [1] https://openai.com/blog/dall-e-…

It would be such a win for consumers if corporations weren’t allowed to just make up some currency and hide the true cost behind some translation layer and instead had to advertise the actual cost in dollars up front.

I get that completely outlawing the idea of credits would remove the ability to dynamically change the cost of computing for new purchases while still retaining computing units for people who have already bought them, so maybe credits themselves as a concept could stick around. But using them in advertising copy should not be allowed without providing the calculated dollar equivalent right alongside of them

And quite crucially, Adobe generative AI is trained on their commercial stock photos so the copyright situation is much less risky.

Everybody’s too concerned about copyright for training data, no one’s concerned enough that the outputs are considered non-copyrightable.

$50mm pre-product valuations for startups producing 3D assets for games via prompting a foundation model.

Zero due diligence on the U.S. copyright office’s stance that every asset those companies generate will be open to reuse.
