Seems complicated to execute, but nonetheless, I think there will be a huge demand by corporations for clean, ethical image data sets to train off of if someone could create them. I wonder if down the road.artists, photographers, content creators, could come together to form a collective of sorts, and contributors are each paid for their contributions. In the coming years, I think we'll start seeing more privately-held, ethical models develop and be licensed out to companies. Adobe already had a massive catalog of stock imagery, but most companies don't have that. I see there being a big opportunity in curating copyright-free, ethical, responsible image datasets to license out to companies to train models from. Yeah, their generative-AI might not be as powerful as MidJourney's, but they're avoiding BIG legal challenges and in the long run, once their competition all inevitably face legal battles (they already are), it'll leave Adobe with more time to focus on improving their creative AI tools. Seems like a super smart move on Adobe's part. Rather, all their tools are trained on Adobe Stock images, public-domain content where copyright has expired, and openly licensed content. You can use the video tutorials to get familiar with the different options and then customize your toolbars only to display the ones you use. At first glance, Illustrator can look very intimidating, as the workstation is packed with tools.

What I find most interesting, is their tools do not leverage stable diffusion, unlike MidJourney and Runway ML. Adobe Illustrator is a great software for creating, editing, and producing scalable vector-based images. Today, Adobe announced its new suite of AI-powered tools, called "Firefly"
