Adobe Lights Up Firefly for Enterprises 🌟

Adobe Firefly for Enterprise has arrived.

That means every employee whose boss coughs up an enterprise subscription will gain access to Firefly’s incredible AI text-to-image and editing features.

Yes: this includes Generative Fill, Adobe’s Photoshop feature that can radically transform photos from text prompts. The quality is so good that over 150 million images have been crafted with the tool in just two weeks!

One neat perk is that businesses can train Firefly on their brand-specific assets, eliminating any “guesswork” for generating the handsomest orange tabby, for instance.

Why it matters: Adobe’s sell prop is that they don’t train their models on copyrighted content, which could be a big selling point for companies wanting to sidestep any lawsuits.

The tradeoff in artistic quality is noticeable (check out our honest review here), but we still think it’s the most comprehensive one-stop AI design suite on the market!

You would not believe your eyes, if Adobe Firefly, lit up the world as I fell asleep. 🎶

How to Not Make a Fool Out of Yourself 👇

ChatGPT would be the greatest poker champion ever: it’s a genius and an amazing bluffer.

Companies have already shot themselves in the foot by relying on AI to execute tasks without supervision.

Toy maker Mattel has been using AI to sort through large datasets, but its output was filled with hallucinations (i.e., outright errors).
CNET is getting heat after amending over 70 stories that were published using AI.
And we all know about the infamous NY lawyer who trusted ChatGPT for bogus legal cases that never occurred.

Embarrassing. Here are a few tricks of the trade to make sure AI doesn’t make a fool of you at work:

Cross verification: use reliable sources to cross-check info ChatGPT feeds you, especially before trusting it verbatim. And like an annoying amazing teacher, ask for citations.

Ask follow-ups: Ask questions to reveal any gaps in understanding. In other words, feel out if ChatGPT is bullsh*tng you.

Always review yourself: before you click publish or submit work to the boss, take the time to go over it yourself. No exceptions. Not even w/ emails.
