Actually, when signing up for the waitlist, they don't ask for your Adobe account.
it's only a matter of time i'm sure. I don't think you can use any adobe product today without Adobe Creative Cloud™
I found the little sketch-to-vector-variations part interesting and surprising- this is something that is solidly not done via a diffusion model unlike everything else shown. Although I note it says "We plan to build this into Firefly" implying that... this isn't something already finished.
I suspect the example they used might have been cherry-picked
What I love about this AI generative art is it will finally put the right price on computer generated art: $0. It will be interesting to watch the entire Hollywood and associated creative industries lose control to AI. Entire movies will be created in small basements. Same with AAA video games.
Creative people are paid to be creative, not enter keyboard shortcuts all day. It’s the idea and vision that are the real differentiator.
What this reinforces is that unlike with previous big innovations (cloud, iphone, etc), incumbents will not sit on their laurels with the AI wave. They are aggressively integrating it into their products which (1) provides a relatively cheap step function upgrade and (2) keeps the barrier high for startups to use AI as their wedge. I attribute the speed at which incumbents are integrating AI into their products to a…
I think you're missing a fundamental reason: adding AI functionality into products is simply easier. That is, these companies are largely not doing the hard part, which is creating and training these models in the first place. The examples you gave of of cloud and iPhone have both huge capital barriers to entry, and in iPhones case other phone companies just didn't have the unique design talent combination of Jobs an…

Still on the fence for whether or not you should be able to opt out of training (I'm sure many artists would love to "opt out" of humans looking at their art if the human intends to, or might, copy the artists' style at some point).
Should Github Copilot be trained on private, closed-source, proprietary code?

> * Whereas AI was a hand-wavey marketing term in the past, it's now the real deal and provides actual value to the end user. Ehhh.... Sometimes. It's still a hand-wavey marketing term today. Almost every sales call I'm in either the prospect is asking about AI, or more likely the vendor is saying something like "We use our AI module to help you [do some function not at all related to AI]". Also, even when it's "real…

Yes, AI should be trained on every piece of information possible. Am I allowed to become a better programmer by looking at private, (illegally leaked) closed-source, proprietary code?

I personally find it infuriating that the jobs we're closest to automating right now are the ones that we dreamed of doing as youths. Who dreamed of cleaning bathrooms or flipping burgers? Too bad, that's still done by manual humans. But who dreamed of being an artist or a writer? Great, we've figured out how to replace you with a generative algorithm!
At this point someone is going to make a startup off just managing your AI waitlists. (Kidding)
