The biggest and MOST impost issue "BUG" with the addition of ADOBE's generative AI in photoshop is the horrific invasion of privacy and censoring of the artistic expression. This is the beginning of the end of all artistic expression as we all move blindly into the 21st century. I am horrified against the invasion of free artistic expression using a program that one purchases a monthly subscription for. This may be the end of all free expression as artists continue to be monitored and misjudged and controlled by a computer program that the artist pays for.
I view the gen Ai tools in Photoshop as just another tool that you can choose to use or not. In many case the Firefly tools simply spped up a process that on would otherwise take a long time to do.
With more time on your side, you have more time for creative thinking 🙂
Thank you for sharing your concerns. Not all generative AI is equal in terms of ethics, accountability, and privacy. I encourage you to review these pages/documents which talk about Adobe's approach:
Check out this session from this year's Adobe MAX with artists Jesus Rameriz and Lisa Carney. They create artwork for the movie industry and they making full use of Photoshop's AI image generation tools. It is letting them work faster and more cost effectively for their clients which makes them more competitive than artists who refuse to embrace the new tech. If you do client work, then you might find yourself out of work if you insist on hanging on to the past. Don't forget, you don't have to use those tools if you don't want to, but you can be sure that most Photoshop users will not share your reluctance.
