Adobe should make opt-out to all of gen ai feature for users.

Remove Tool is the only tool where it might or might not use AI when set to Auto and thats why there is a settings for it. Generate Image or Generative Fill are AI only so if you dont want to use them - just dont. Its not compulsory. Regardless of you opting out of AI or not, you are still using application which supports all sorts of unethical ways of altering images so its more about how you use it and whats the intent

You do have an option of sorts. in the top toolbar, there is an Mode option to switch it off (3 in fact) - Auto (may be used), Generative AI on, or Generative AI Off.

jane-e is correct. That is not a “top toolbar” it’s what’s called the (tool) options bar (Window > Options), which presents options only for the current tool, not the entire application. So any options you see in the options are tool-specific (they change depending on what tool you selected), in this case options for the Remove tool only. For example, changing the Remove tool’s Mode menu will not disable Generate Image or generative fill. That’s why the Mode menu is definitely not the application-wide “master switch” for generative AI that is being requested here.

If you are referring to the post and image from @D Fosse , note that his screenshot is for the Remove tool, not for all Generative AI.

I have had this request from fellow team members. Would there be a way to disable Gen-AI tools so they are not enticed to use them, and also so they can still use their software when working offline.

AI per se is not a problem. Generative AI - i.e. Firely - is a problem. Noise reduction is fine. Generating new content is not fine. That's where you're crossing the line.

It is in fact extremely easy to avoid crossing that line: just don't accept the terms and conditions for Firefly. If you're picking up a tool that uses Firefly, you need to accept the terms before you can use it.

I have never accepted the terms, and for those tools that can go both ways, like the Remove tool, there will be a rolldown in the options bar:

Once that is set, you won't be bothered again.

Adobe does a poor job of labeling what is AI and how it is used in each tool, so its not just that easy. I'd like to see granular controls (for example, AI noise reduction in Lightroom is ok, but not AI generative expand.)

You have the option to turn AI tools off and on yourself.

The best and most used AI tool I use is canvas expand and filling in an area with similar pixels. I don't see an issue with what probably most people use. I don't see why a small option bar you can hide is an issue. The major issue with AI is the connotation of the word and not what it does. I have abosolute confidence Adobe is making the right decisions as to the implementaion of "AI." Perhaps the word needs to be changed for the purposes of making people feel easy about it. It is not going away and it will only get more helpful. The chose os using AI or not should not be placed on Adobe, but the individual user. Just like anything you find helpful or harmful in everything in life. You have a chose and you have choses whether to do something ethical or not. Implementing time saving options that isn't infringing on anyone else's rights is an important practice that has been the root of any new software or tool. When Photoshop came out hacky people used it and lens flared or filtered almost every document you saw in print and elsewhere. Eventualy the better more creative artists found a way to use the tools to make better images.

You have the option to turn AI tools off and on yourself.

How long we have to wait for this opt-out feature on air?

New firefly ads on home of creative cloud desktop is very uncomfortable.

Not true, the model is trained if you use Adobe Firefly when uploading reference images as I noticed this later on which now if I'm not mistaken costs credits. Generative AI has its pluses but I don't depend on it in any of my work especially when contracts are involved. I've tested it out on some Google images with adding more textures for a bigger canvas etc but never claimed it as my own work
