Generating images of historical people [edited]

I did a query *find photos of the 56 men who signed the declaration of indepence of the united states, and their photos, and listed all of their names*. Nothing happenned. I tried again, again crickets. Then I tried 50, and nothing. Then I tried 10 with 10 names and it finally worked, but most answers were duplicate photos--albeit very beautiful. THEN when I tried doing it one at a time it said *Not enough generative credits available to generate content.* But, I never got answers! 2026 is the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and a ton of folks will try my query. Help me & save yourself tons of support questions.

Hello @DawnDawn7,

Thank you for your message. 

Firefly is not trained to be accurate on historical details, and specifically it is not trained on the images or likenesses of famous people. So asking it to generate a historical event or people famous in history is not likely to generate an accurate depiction of the people or the event.

Thanks,

This prompt is more suitable for ChatGPT. And even then, accuracy is not guaranteed.

      Being that 2026 is the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence of America, customer support is going to be OVERWHELMED by people not being able to generate historical photos. Okay, so you can't do all 56 signers, but I would suggest adding the most famous handful of signers, like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton -- and adding what you just said -- directly after them (and super nice to add other AIs like ChapGPT that are more useful for this). Also, the official historical photos of each president of the U.S. That's all. 10,000 complaints resolved. You're welcome.
