I received this link via Getty Images, and it very much concern the entire industry.

It's one thing to take your own photo then enhance it with AI, a complete other thing for someone to steal our work and try to make it their own.

I encourage everyone to send this petion to congress.

I share your concerns. However, things are much, MUCH worse right now. Congress is on the verge of approving a 934-page Budget Reconciliation Bill which threatens to undermine every safety net program that millions of people rely on. Also wrapped in this "Big... Bill" is a small but dangerous provision that removes all restrictions on the use of AI— for the next 10 YEARS!

If this horrific bill passes, there'll be no way for Congress, or anyone else, to stop AI until the year 2036. The urgency has never been greater than right NOW!

Don't write. CALL your Congressional Reps in Washington, DC.

Demand a Senate Conference.
The Big, Budget Betrayal Bill must not pass.

Unbelievable. Nothing grounds my beef more than AI designers who lack so much imagination that they have to rely on using artist's or cartoonist's names in prompts, or who create Disney, Marvel, or DC characters (thank you, Disney, for coming after Midjourney on this issue). I've made it no secret that I'm a former photographer who now uses AI (blame my bad back and weak knees at least in part for that), but for a tool that allows virtually unlimited creativity, it astounds me that people think that creating known characters or real actors (poor Scarlett Johansen) is being unique and original.

I've embraced technology fully. AI is the kind of machine that it's to imagine how it will evolve and change e the world for better or worse:

And I know that it's here to stay, including in our industry. But I feel just like you, I think in the rush to market, people are losing sight of what is original and ethical... That's an area Adobe has a huge challenge and I sense they are trying to do the right thing.

No room for moral relativism here, what's wrong is wrong and everyone knows when it's wrong, no matter how much they try to avoid seeing it's wrong.

How did that AI get trained? Even if you enhance your own assets with AI, if the AI has been trained using unlicensed assets, then you conflict with the copyright. Adobe's Firefly has been trained with Adobe stock assets, and the contributors have been indemnified for this.

By @ZALEZPHOTO

The point is this one: It's one thing to take your own photo then enhance it with AI,

If you enhance your image with generative AI and that is OK, how did your AI get the training? I don't see much of a difference between creating an asset with generative AI and enhancing an asset with generative AI.
