Question

Firefly vs. GPT Image vs. Imagen

This bears some discussion on the future of Firefly, where it spectacularly fails on following a prompt while the other rendering models excel, like GPT Image and Imagen. I'm glad that there are alternatives Adobe has provided, but poor Firefly couldn't hurt a fly with its weak rendition of the prompt below.
"An ultra-high resolution of a 3D-rendered scene of an ultra-modern city, and on the left is a modern and tall and elaborately designed movie theater building with a large sign and large display movie posters covering the front windows, and people are going in and coming out , and on the right side is a busy supermarket with people going in and out of, and some are walking along the sidewalk. Ultra-fine detail, fine shading, beautiful contrasting lighting, on a partly sunny day. Shot from a street view looking down the street as the background fades out of focus."

The Firefly image on the left, then Imagen, then GPT Image

Well, the question is whether or not you like an ethical approach to training data where the original creators get paid.

Point taken, but the training data is perhaps not the issue, but the Firefly model itself in this case not being able to follow the prompt that well. At the moment, I cannot produce an image using Firefly 4, that matches with the accuracy of the other two models despite many tweaks to my original prompt.
