Adobe should make opt-out to all of gen ai feature for users.

Content aware fill is fine, because it uses data already in the image. It's predictable. It doesn't pull in anything external.

There is a very clearly visible red line here, and it's where the algorithm uses outside data. I don't have enough technical insight to know how Adobe Sensei is different from Firefly, but there is a clear functional distinction that is easy to see. It's the generative part that I don't like and don't want.

Ethically, I think this is very clear cut. It's about passing off work as your own, when you didn't actually do it.

Obviously, there's a whole range of advanced tools that let you alter an image substantially. That's fine, that's why you use Photoshop in the first place. Any experienced photographer knows that a photo is not reality, it's an interpretation of reality. There's a lot of leeway there. But you're in charge, you decide what the finished result is, and you have to do the work to get there.

Oh, and BTW, it would be very easy. Just a checkbox that yanks out the virtual internet cable.

I'm guessing that there is no issue with AI trained features such as select subject or with content aware fill?

Don't Adobe already prefix the word Generative?

Maybe just labeling which tools and filters use AI and which don't would be enough.

Maybe you want opt-in? That's where you have to choose to use them? Opt-out would be tools being automatically applied to your image and you having to decline. Tools are already opt-in. You have to manually choose to use them.

Photoshop has become so laden with AI tools it is difficult to use without. I am a photojournist and photo instructor so very constrained it what editing tools I can use -- and teach -- for ethical and professional reasons. Lightroom is probably the best alternative, but I am not crazy about it and there are some things you can't do in LR that you can in PS. Do others in the community have this concern? What does Adobe suggest?
