I think there is missunderstanding here about cynical and second degree. It seems to be you are insulting, I never had such intention. I was with you in fact and have cliked +1 on your message before writing. So thx to reconsider your deductions. I wrote AGAINST those A(supposed I) tools.

@MatHayward
Is there any chance that there will be Ai search term in filters or category in search panel on site to help users / buyers decide what kind of artwork or "airtwork" they wish ? Or at least something like a subcategory for people - people with 6 fingers, people with 7 fingers ...you know....something like that?
They need an extra finger. AI models have the right number of fingers, once the supernumerary ends up somewhere inside traditional photographers...

Basically photography is a memory, a testimony, a proof of the existing, a reflection of reality, an emotion, a singular creative exercise... What will be the interest of these soulless productions, apart from a cleanliness ascepted and suspicious?
what sort of reality is reflected by picasso, dali, rothko, mondrian, klee and hundreds of other artists? not to mention scifi & fantasy artists
Same player read again: "Basically photography is"...

Of course the money is all that matters.
Have you ever seen a photographer that felt guilty for putting portrait painters out of business?
New tech comes along and it is up to you to choose to whine and play victim or harvest the new possibilities and reinvent yourself.
I love ai and look forward to making more money.
There are microstockers who were able to produce quality images and did not had to wait for AI to achieve that. They were happy about the money they made from their OWN work. And they knew they had to improve and work by themselves. And they did. And they evolved. AI = easy money? lol, wait just a few months... These words will only be spoken by the fulfilled big mouths of the big agencies managers and shareholder  Wait for the nexts "hey, we have good news!!!"

It doesnt look that ordinary customer will be able to use firefly such easy like to search image in stocks. It looks like you will need some knowledge how to use this app, it is some kind advanced photoshop or illustrator. We need to adapt to the changes, there is no time to cry like "They are stealing our jobs".
Welcome newcomer, you are late you know? you should have bebun stock photography 15 years ago... You use a smartphone to produce your images, and already complained about sales on Adobe Stock : "[...] My sales dropped drastically a couple of days ago". So, you do know what crying is  See you soon for your next complain.

True, we have to wait for beta to end. But perhaps Adobe can find a way to give earlier access for stock producers.
Already done, microprocessor have access! since they are the new stock producers

We are developing a compensation model for Stock contributors, and we will share the details of this model when Firefly exits beta.

However his hat is very fiftyish and the car in the background is terribly realistic too
The way the guy holds the gun is hilarious I wish I could have such an expert knowledge about producing such images.  But you could make the day of more than one mechanic... AI is beyond you, right? And your expert eye saw nothing bad here??? Is there no risk of losing common sense with AI? I only see something "terribly realistic" here, but it's not regarding the image itself.

I used these websites for test purpose to build a watermark not easy to remove. The key is that it has to merge with the design. You can use these websites to your advantage too, if you want to sell by yourself 
Gameover, You would see the advantages of dropping an atomic bomb, because it can also regulate the proliferation of bacteria...?  Well, I am surprised, no particular reaction against this here. My point is if you want to sell by yourself, you don't use AI to produce received images. Steal one picture, it's bad. Steal thousands like does Deep learning methods: oh, it's good... Mediocre photographers can now feel like artists thanks to AI, while destroying the incoming of traditional artists.

Yeah weird. I would have gone for arguing that the AI company has made commercial use of images without a commercial licence or permission from the copyright owner (which they have, even if no storage or image retention is involved).
Whether storage of information obtained through studying peoples images counts as infringement is, I guess, more iffy. Surely theres no doubt the model the AI has of what an object or person looks like is derived from the study of other peoples copyright work, regardless of the level of processing involved, hence 21st-century collage tool (yes, I do understand the original image isn't used in its original form but it IS process into information to create the "new" work).
we human make the same (in a smaller scale... ) but we call it inspiration or learning or whatever 
Do you know that there are "human" killing, torturing... so, we should accept technologies do the same (in a bigger scale...)? My point is if you want to sell by yourself, you don't use AI to produce received images. Steal one picture, it's bad. Steal thousands like does Deep learning methods : oh, it's good... Mediocre photographers can now feel like artists thanks to AI, while destroying the income of traditional artists. I hear footsteps coming, it's the army of mediocre photographers and graphic designers who were unsuccessful, and who will exploit AI to finally sell images that they will have the conviction/impudence to have fully produced, only way for them to get success and reward for low and lazy talent. AI is very smart, it understands that recycling is good for the planet where unscrupulous people live!!!

Yes, you should try to simulate the invading Russian army withdrawing from Ukraine, after its teritorial integrity is restored.
That would be a very peaceful image!
And hopefuly, it might even become a best seller this year! 
And to produce the withdrawal, of course, they need billions, infinite supply of (kind of course) weapons. Since Russia wants (sadly, badly) to restore its teritorial integrity too, I only see similarities here. Are You not promoting war here?

"March 3rd, 2023 we will consolidate the different currencies in which royalties are paid and switch to US Dollars"But after: "If you wish to request a payout in your current currency, please log into the contributor portal... by February 28, 2023 end of day and submit the request"Well, I have read too quickly, we had to ask payment not after Februray 28  The funnyest is I always ask for payment the last day of the curent month. There is the first time I waited. lol
