Considering the rate of innovation in the generative AI space, most people choose one or two paths. Either try and consume as much AI news as possible… or just try to ignore it entirely. I've found for myself that a nice spot between these two extremes works best for me.
Keeping up with everything AI is a full-time job… while pretending there is nothing interesting or beneficial for creatives will leave you at a disadvantage. Knowing enough to be selective around which innovations and spaces to keep an eye on - and maintaining awareness of those areas which can be helpful in your own workflows can be very beneficial.
You don't have to waste your time on slop…. or even things that might be a memory tomorrow. Instead, you make choices as to which innovations can be useful to you and you focus on these bits - and how to best integrate them within your own processes as part of your day-to-day creative output.
Features like Harmonize in Photoshop fit perfectly within this selective space:

How do I keep up with innovations in generative AI at Adobe, in particular? A few ways - all of which I recommend:
Follow Adobe evangelists like Kris, Paul, Howard, and others to keep up with major innovations.
Install beta software that includes upcoming AI features like Harmonize in Photoshop from the Creative Cloud Desktop application - Apps > Beta
Keep up to date with highlights from the Adobe blog - https://blog.adobe.com/
