Firefly the New AI

6 months ago · < 1 minute read

Would you believe your eyes if ten million new AIs were all released? Just kidding. But since its release in March 2023, Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen claims that their new AI image generator, Firefly, has created over three billion pictures. According to the website, you can input text prompts in over 100 languages to generate new, unique pictures. But, that’s not all this AI can do.

Unlike other image generators, Adobe’s Firefly can add, modify, or remove existing elements in an image. One example they show is changing the subject’s clothes from a tee shirt to a denim jacket. They’ve got a few things still in the works, like letting artists create 3-D images and using AI to render them. 

Another step that Adobe has taken to benefit artists is its training platform. Recent allegations and lawsuits against AI companies have proven that what the AI is trained on really matters. Adobe specifically trained Firefly on Adobe Stock images and public domain content. That means everything you make with Firefly is available to use commercially without worrying about copyright infringement.
