Credits for subpar AI

Why are we limited to credits for AI now when photoshop gets it wrong more than it gets it right??? I think until their AI improves they shouldn't be charging credits. I'd say 9 out of 10 are wasted because Adobe puts something that makes zero sense - ie food, bowls, etc. It's not quite there to be having to pay extra because of all the mistakes it makes - will be searching for alternatives to photoshop even if i have to use multiple tools to do it. RIDICULOUS!

Several plans allow unlimited use of standard generations which include generative fill, including the CC Pro plan (North America only at present) and the additional Firefly plan.

@gaylee0D45 totally get it—but it costs money to do this too. Running these advanced AI models (especially large language models for text-to-image or image generation) is incredibly resource-intensive and expensive for them to operate on their servers. Each generation consumes significant processing power. And you probably thinking, Adobe certainly has deep pockets!?! The scale of investment and operational costs for advanced AI is so immense that even Adobe, with billions in revenue, are not simply absorbing it all without finding ways to offset it. The credit system is their current model for doing that.
