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 incomparably more advanced than integrating a prompt into MS Paint.

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 filters are inert landscapes

Do they mention anywhere what DALL-E version is being used? I have a suspicion it's not DALL-E 3 but happy to be proven wrong.

The puritanical snowflake nanny state needs to die.

This is not the nanny state, it's just PR concerns. They don't want to be associated with headlines like "FBI Finds Child Porn Images Generated by Microsoft's AI".

What’s the state got to do with it? This is all markets.

PR concerns about what puritans will think. Puritans love a nanny state with the entire modicum of affection their shrivelled black hearts can muster.

No, I'm not defending CSAM or AI simulacra of it. Fusing the medium with the censor is an abomination. It's Cocreator wagging the finger today, tomorrow it's Clippy popping up to tell me that what it thinks I might be making is too objectional for me to continue making it.

The difference probably is the hardware it runs on.

It feels like the same argument about hosting files: if you provide a service then you're responsible for what happens in it.

There's plenty of self hosted image generators without any guardrails whatsoever if you're so inclined. Browse around https://civitai.com/ for a bit you'll quickly see the implications
