Usable or not, contributors were told that when Firefly was out of beta there would be a compensation model for us - I haven't heard anything from Adobe Stock about compensation for data training
Yet people are still using it for commercial purposes. Nice to see that the contributors don't care.
I don't think the contributors don't care and I assume that the compensation will come when the AI elements go live in the release version of Photoshop CC - probably in fall with the CC 2024 version.
However, I also think that Adobe should start here soon with a communication regarding the compensation, because the contributors are getting impatient.
I still believe that something will come from Adobe here, but it's about time to present something concrete here.
Not quite in line with the topic:
On the other hand, there are much worse providers - for example WireStock has received dataset earnings from Shutter and Pond5 (Dec. 2022 & April/May 2023) and has simply not passed anything on to the contributors - when asked about this fact, WireStock support simply does not answer anymore...
