The Problem With Adobe Firefly Is BIGGER Than You Think!

Ғылым және технология

Adobe recently released Firefly, their new AI Image Generation Platform-- and there is a big problem with their AI Art Creator. It has nothing to do with the image quality, prompting, or Image Control, but is rather a much larger problem about the future relationship between AI Art and Artists.
In this video I'm going to take a brief overview of Adobe Firefly, and then chat a bit about how ethical Firefly really is...Does Adobe really have the interests of its users in mind with Firefly? Let's find out!

I was actually proud of that one, since I talked to them a lot before making it, and a sticking point is that I wanted to tell you how much the typical user actually makes. No promises of $700 a month, when the reality is that is was more like $30.

    Adobe keeps treading VERY lightly in their verbiage, saying it will be "likely" to be integrated into photoshop/illustrator etc. To me, that says: "we're planning to, but if there is a lot of backlash, we'll pull the plug." Given that I haven't seen a lot of bad press or negativity thrown their way, I'd say it's pretty likely. And then as with all Adobe products, we'll have to do an update that will break 10 other things. ugh.

    I believe that Adobe Firefly will make it much harder for anti-AI people to make their argument. Even without having any artists in my social circle, it was still easy to empathize with their frustration about an AI model using their own creations to replace them. The Adobe situation on the other hand is much harder for me to interpret. While I do understand that some contributors to Adobe Stock would not have accepted the Terms, if they knew AI Art Generators were just around the corner, it seems more like a question about legality, then ethics, which makes it a much less accessible discussion for a layperson, like me.

    Well, I think your comment perfectly illustrates Adobe's angle here. They're in a tight bind, because on the one hand AI generated is on the verge of being a massive market, but on the other hand, a great majority of their subscribers are anti-AI. The "Ethics" approach is, to be honest, kind of brilliant. I hope someone got a promotion out of it! "Organic? No...GMO Free? No...Oh, Ethical!! YES!" 😂 But the irony here is that it's still putting a bullet to an artist's head. It's just an ethical bullet? And I should say, I'm overstating for the humor. I don't think traditional artists are going anywhere. AI Art is not going to replace anything at my city's museum, nor is anyone going to want to have AI generated images of their wedding day. BUT, this is 100% going to take away a platform that Adobe created which was (small) form of income for a lot of people. That is totally their prerogative, as Adobe Stock is their platform, but I do take some issue when they dress themselves up in a white suit to deliver the news.

    "I do understand that some contributors to Adobe Stock would not have accepted the Terms, if they knew AI Art Generators were just around the corner, it seems more like a question about legality, then ethics," -- isn't it weird that if you didn't give people a real understanding of what you were going to do with their work, that somehow we forget about "ethics" as soon as it's "legal"? Somehow we are trained to think "Oh that's legal" without also knowing it's wrong. Like leveraging assets to bankrupt a company and thousands lose their jobs while a few people get super rich raiding their retirement fund -- it's LEGAL. That said; copyright is dead and the courts are ignoring this fact and the implications. Whether people think it's legal, ethical, or just not being fair -- people will not be able to make a living as an art producer except in very custom situations.

Of which I was one. That meager income is now lost, I’ll look into the Adobe Stock compensation statement.

Not to mention bland, generic photographs that often aren't the exact match for what's being illustrated (e.g. an article on outsourcing illustrated with a piece of generic business clip art). But at least Adobe will want to keep its stock artists happy, the more its AI has to draw on, the better its output will become. If I were them, I would merge the two; use the stock art as a source of "image to image" generation. You buy a stock image and use AI to alter it to your specific needs. Everyone wins.

    I have subscribed to your channel and love your your mid-journey videos a lot. This video, I am surprised you got it so wrong. Mid Journey is great for creating awesome images but it doesn’t have any real main stream applications. Photoshop is all about real world applications. Generative fill is a 100x more useful and powerful than midjourney is when it comes to professional application. Plus the other tools like remove, select subject etc besides everything photoshop already is, makes it far more creative than midjourney is. You made a snide remark about photoshop images being “stock photography” … if you think about it, that’s a compliment, because stock photos are real world pictures. If I am making a brochure and need a particular model, looking and wearing a particular outfit, I can do that. It even takes existing images and poses the model in different ways. You got this terribly wrong in my view. Mid-journey and Photoshop (Fire Fly is now Generative fill within photoshop) are two entirely different things

    Yeah, I’ll admit- this video is a little dated and came out just as Firefly launched (Pre-Gen fill)- when it looked more like Adobe was going for the standard MJ/Stable Diffusion image generator model. In retrospect, I can see if Gen Fill was the plan all along why it would be so…well, bland for lack of a better term. And while I did see that Adobe was talking about profit sharing with those that contributed to Adobe Stock for training the firefly model, I remain skeptical of any corporation (particularly Adobe) who claims to be looking out for the little guy. I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Adobe, as you might have picked up!

    @@trevors7905 Right. And, I, as a professional artist need input too... it's called a creative brief. It used to go to ME to do the art. Now it's a prompt for the ai. Digital painting didn't do that. It's just a new form of media. This replaces the artist. There is no embracing it. Unless I am embracing not being the artist anymore. That's not a tool. Plus - every prompt you give it trains in more. That's the input. As you use it, you become dependent and less skilled. Meanwhile it learn more and more FROM you, for free... to replace you further, and not need you, and make you more dependent. "use it or fall behind" is a fear based sales trick.

    ​​​@@ithurtsbecauseitstrue1922 No, it is not a fear based tactic. "Use it or get left behind", is a factual part of a fast advancing tech- driven creative work environment. You are not nearly the first to face the possible reality of tech replacing you as a creative worker.. Many workers, and professions, have been replaced by new machines throughout history. Those same workers had to either learn how to use those machines, or train for another "in-demand" field. With AI, however, the change is happening at a speed we have not seen before and affecting a broad spectrum of workers and professions, not just one or a few. Ignoring this won't stop it. We can despise it , but it's coming anyway. Those who are going to do well will find out how to use these tools and/or adapt in a way to make themselves still in-demand.

    Looks like Adobe is putting Firefly in other products as well, Photoshop and more interestingly Premiere. I think they’re going to invest pretty hard in AI, so on the one hand I think the models will improve, on the other hand, they might be spreading themselves too thin and we get a bunch of half working products. (the Adobe way!)

    Nah. Keep working. To be honest Photobashing is super helpful for AI to "understand" what you're after. And to really get precise images, you still need to do compositing work. There will always be a need for a human designer at the end of the day.

    Nah, there’s still tons of work for talented designers out there. I’ll say I agree with you that the lower tier, fresh out of school, design kids are going to take a hit on those entry level design positions- but I think as they continue to develop their skills, they’ll find work. At the end of the day, the designer/client thing is about relationships. Most clients don’t care how the art was made, they just like the personality of the person selling it to them. You wanna hear something really funny though? Apparently art schools have been getting applications with AI art as a portfolio! Those kids aren’t going to last a semester. Haha, such a waste of money.
