P: Firefly Model 4 quality concerns

Why should we pay for a tool that's getting worse and worse?
I use Firefly mainly to generate effects on images I upload (for composition) and by using reference images (also uploaded by me) for the style. Until yesterday, everything was fine, but now suddenly Firefly 3 no longer follows the lines of the reference image for the composition. Let alone Firefly 4, which just does its own thing entirely, ignoring the reference images altogether. I'm speechless.

Dear Firefly,

Sometimes I enter prompt that Firefly does not want to render (Version 4) and the app will give me a nonsense image totally unrelated to the prompt that I typed instead of telling me that the prompt is objectionable. This is not good. I need to be told that there is a problem with the prompt so I can change it, instead of going ahead and rendering something that I don't need and using up one of my valuable credits.

Thank you

Black and white, drawing, a woman works in a vineyard and removes weeds with a hoe, sunny, afternoon. This is the funniest result, but I got not a single good one.

Her pose, the two wooden sticks, her hat, no right foot, disconnected arm. And even without all these errors it's just bad. Other attempts went just as well.

Absolutely agree! The new Version 4 is completely useless, and the old version has been ruined! Please bring back the old version — it was a game changer! These versions would not have been acceptable even a year ago. Style reference images have no meaning any longer. The composition either follows the given sample rigidly or does not follow it at all! Please discard this version!

It is getting worse by the day. Guess the trainig data is corrupted by its own AI slop. It doesn't understand detailed or simple prompts and isn't able to create text without errors. At least Firefly 3 was hallucinating and interesting as a starting point, Version 4 is boring and stupid. For a company with a 5 billion profit this is disappointing.

I'm sorry to hear that your recent experience with Firefly has been frustrating. Please share some prompts and the generated images with us. We’d love to look into those.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
