It's been almost three years since Adobe launched its Firefly AI image model, and a lot has changed. There's now a video model, sound effects, Firefly-powered tools in apps like Photoshop and Illustrator, and even non-Adobe models like Google's Nano Banana (see our Adobe software list and our guide to the best digital art software).
A lot of the AI tools have been hugely popular. Generative Fill is now one of the five most-used features in Photoshop, and Adobe users have already made millions of generations using Nano Banana. But there have been controversies too, amid opposition to AI among some traditional users and shifts in Creative Cloud pricing plans.
