    I'm trying to use the Generate Vectors (Beta) In Adobe Illustrator 2025.  I can load it and type in whatever I want, when I click generate it brings up a loading bar and tip as if it's generating something but then my box remains blank.  I've previously used it with no issue so seems to be since having the 2025 update.  I'm having this issue with Gen Shape Fill (Beta) too.  Has anyone else experienced this and is there a fix which can be suggested please?  Thanks

    Yeah, I've been using this for over a month now. I presented at the Adobe Summit on the power of Gen AI & Adobe Creative Cloud, and I showed how to make graphics, illustrations, re-color vectors, and created icons. It's such an amazing tool saving literally days of work!

    You cannot turn it off. There might be feature requests on Uservoice that you can. support, bu currectly this is only possible in Enterprise settings, where sys admins can turn off the connection.

    I really dislike this generative stuff. It is so upsetting seeing it take over my artistic tools. Makes me want to just throw my computer into the sea and maybe myself with it.

    Hello 

    I'm trying to use this incredible feature but I don't know why it is not working for me. I've tried a few simple prompts and waited like 5 min to get it but at the end it says "An error occurred". I already tried it in empty documents and it's the same problem. Has anyone had this problem or know what I can do?
