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

[Ultimatebeetle]

Not only photoshop, all of softwares by adobe.

Many artists who using adobe products don't want to using & supporting generative ai at all.

we have rights to opt-out from these things like generative ai tools in software, unwanted ads and nofitications.

Maybe you want opt-in? That's where you have to choose to use them? Opt-out would be tools being automatically applied to your image and you having to decline. Tools are already opt-in. You have to manually choose to use them.

I'm for this. I don't mind opt-out, it could be a checkbox in Preferences to disable Firefly. The point is that some of us feel things are crossing an ethical line nowadays, and we prefer to stay on the other side of that line.

You can choose to not use the tools, but that line is pretty blurred by now.

Maybe just labeling which tools and filters use AI and which don't would be enough.

I'm guessing that there is no issue with AI trained features such as select subject or with content aware fill?

Don't Adobe already prefix the word Generative?

[D Fosse]

Content aware fill is fine, because it uses data already in the image. It's predictable. It doesn't pull in anything external.

There is a very clearly visible red line here, and it's where the algorithm uses outside data. I don't have enough technical insight to know how Adobe Sensei is different from Firefly, but there is a clear functional distinction that is easy to see. It's the generative part that I don't like and don't want.

Ethically, I think this is very clear cut. It's about passing off work as your own, when you didn't actually do it.

Obviously, there's a whole range of advanced tools that let you alter an image substantially. That's fine, that's why you use Photoshop in the first place. Any experienced photographer knows that a photo is not reality, it's an interpretation of reality. There's a lot of leeway there. But you're in charge, you decide what the finished result is, and you have to do the work to get there.

Oh, and BTW, it would be very easy. Just a checkbox that yanks out the virtual internet cable.

Adobe Acrobat has a preference setting to turn off generative AI. I'd love to see the same ability in Photoshop.

Turn off generative AI features in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader desktop

• Close any open files. Then, navigate to Preferences > Generative AI.
• To turn off the generative AI features, deselect Enable generative AI features in Acrobat, and then select OK.

I've upvoted the idea.

Photoshop is a creative tool. Acrobat Reader goes on most corporate desktops. I'm not surprised that as a business decision, Adobe included that killswitch. 

[Jumpenjax]

I like the idea of having a personal choice.

I have added my vote, this appears to be part of the Firefly Terms of Use for the Beta version:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-beta-discussions/generative-ai-in-the-remove-tool-for-photo...

1. Accept the Firefly Terms of Use: If you haven't already, agree to the Firefly Terms of Use that appears.
    
   
   •   The Mode setting in the Remove Tool is set based on the Terms of Use acceptance.
      Manually change the Mode setting in the options bar as needed:
         • Auto (May use generative AI) - default if TOU was accepted
         • Always use generative AI
         • Never use generative AI - default if TOU was declined
