We tried Adobe's new generative AI model, Firefly, and it's lagging behind the competition. Is that the cost of ethical AI model training?

One of the few times Firefly produced a mixed-race couple without specific prompting, it still struggled with hands.overall. I wanted to try something similar in Firefly, using specific phrases, which has proved helpful for prior AI models.This is not what I meant by “wet plate.” I think this is a case of user error.

“Full body portrait of a man in the 1800s, wet collodion photography” resulted in some interesting images, to say the least. I’m not sure I’d call them realistic.I decided to try one more attempt at portraits of people. I went for, “Portrait of a happy couple in love 85mm bokeh.” I ran this prompt repeatedly to view different results, and this quartet was the best. Some results had deformed faces, while others featured strange limbs. None of them looked incredibly natural or realistic.

To get a like-for-like comparison against Midjourney v5, which prohibits the term “sex,” I asked Firefly to generate a “wedding of two men.” Midjourney puts Firefly to shame here, even though both AI models seem fixated on white people with that prompt. My confidence that Firefly will evolve is tempered by its limited dataset. Adobe isn’t going to go the route of Midjourney and start stealing images suddenly and Firefly is already at least six to eight months behind some competitors regarding its results.
