I had an article to write for a newsletter in our retirement community. It needed an image because all the good articles in the monthly news letter has an image. I want some sort of happy, older person at a beach or in the wilderness with a camera.

I didn't have such an image. I didn't want to shoot such an image. I don't have an account at any stock photo agency. I didn't want any of my neighbors to be identifiable.

Adobe Firefly to the rescue! Before the newsletter people threw me under their bus, I came up with a humorous image that fit the article.

I see it that Adobe provided me with something both fun and useful.

It isn't just Adobe as all pp software is moving to AI in some form.

And it didn't require a model release.

What you did is exactly what the author was talking about.

Yes, except that that author is arguing that Adobe "threw him under the bus". My argument is that Adobe has provided new tools for me to use at no additional cost. In other words, this is good, not bad.

What Adobe did was give you the tools to “Skip the photoshoot”. That was the point of the article.

Save money as you don't have to buy cameras. They actually wanna kill camera manufacturers.
For me it would be great. I would be able to afford the camera I want.

Off topic, but I think it’s time we stopped the “X, formerly known as Twitter” moniker - it’s annoying.

But there would be no innovation in cameras if that happened.
