🚨Scoop from me and @BrodyFord_: Adobe has touted Firefly as a safe and ethical alternative to competitors like Midjourney… but it also quietly trained Firefly on Midjourney images. Adobe’s ‘Ethical’ Firefly AI Was Trained on Midjourney Images bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@rachelmetz @BrodyFord_ Copyright laundering. Thank you for reporting on this!
@rachelmetz @BrodyFord_ Literally impossible to not have any training data contamination unless you manually attribute and verify each image which is way too cumbersome.
@rachelmetz @BrodyFord_ This feels slightly blown out of proportion. If I'm reading correctly, Adobe did not intentionally seek out AI-generated images from competitors like Midjourney to train Firefly. Instead, the images entered the training set because they were uploaded by Adobe Stock users, right?
@rachelmetz @BrodyFord_ Aghast! Silicon Valley who was built on IP theft is caught stealing AI generated IP! Who could’ve foreseen such criminality from same greedy execs who changed long standing 1 time software sales model to forever subscriptions model to bleed more money from customers ? lolz
