When will generative fill be good?

Question

It was an interesting little toy when it came out, but now that you charge for it (with credits) it needs to be, y'know, good!

The only practical use I have for it is removing objects and sometimes generative expand, but the latter often completely fails - mismatched colours creating very clear borderlines and the kind of typical jank that was common in AI years ago. It's not getting any better, and if you really want to push AI as the new frontier for Adobe then you just cannot be lagging this far behind every competitor and most free tools out there.

Get it together.

@real_5081 I totally understand where you are coming from! But, I also have to understand from a business point of view from Adobe side. Companies like MidJourney and Dall-E are being sued because of AI and copyright issues (these apps were trained on the entire internet. This includes copyrighted art, private photos, and high-end illustrations they didn't pay for.); Adobe AI, Firefly is trained primarily on Adobe Stock and public domain content.was trying to protect themselves from all of that, unfortunately, some contributors were using MidJourney and Dall-E and uploading that to Adobe Stock which is also a different can of worms. So, there is likely a lawsuit somewhere. Adobe needs to protect its investment. It's employees. And billions of users too who rely on Adobe products. I get it, Adobe is such a big company, why are the smaller companies are producing better quality of AI gnerated. Well, smaller companies have little to lose, while Adobe who employs thousands have a lot to lose.

Why so much credit? As you know, running AI is kinda costly. So, who should pay for that?
