Even Adobe will acknowledge that Generative Fill/Firefly is not as advanced as other AI generators which are trained by scraping the web for every image, whether copyrighted or not. Instead, they only use images they have rights to, and even that has caused controversy. I believe that the original plan was to have a certain number of credits issued to subscribers to different plans, and then after January, you would be charged for going over your limit. That deadline was then moved to March and is currently still not being enforced. I suspect that is due to the poor performance.
I use Generative Fill in Photoshop for removing unwanted objects in photographs, and for that, it works pretty well, if not perfectly.

Don't get me wrong. I like Adobe Photoshop and have been using it since the 1980's. Creative Fill/Firefly does very well on touching up actual photographs. I even use it to add to the images Bing generates, but as a stand-a-lone AI image generator, it has a long way to go. AI is still a very new technology and there are a lot of uncertainties concerning its use. I personally don't care about getting anything AI generated copyrighted. I use it for personal satisfaction in generating something that I like to look at. It occupies this 80 year old brain and keeps it active. Have fun!
