BTW - agreed on the Alexa comment (no one will pay). Mine barely work. I might go for paying for a regular Claude sub and get the Alexa upgrade at no extra cost. Claude is pretty awesome on its own. Plus it's free at the level I'm using. Yeah, never mind.

You KNOW I have to comment on this, and with many words in all caps for emphasis.

First - no one is going pay for Alexa. NO ONE.

Second - Adobe's new video tool is trained on their own library and public domain content (1:16 in their release video). That's a wild world of stuff that the copyright MAY have been given away (you never really know), but that doesn't answer what it's of. I can take a picture of Brad Pitt and upload it to Creative Commons giving away my right to the copyright, but Mr ex-Jolie certainly did not give up his right to publicity.

Third - Of the major stock libraries ONLY Adobe accepts AI generated images (at this point it's 1/4 of their image library), which means they're accepting MidJourney/Stability/DALL-E and all of the other scraped sources, AND also using that to train their tool - on top of the unknown "public domain" content. https://martech.org/legal-risks-loom-for-firefly-users-after-adobes-ai-image-tool-training-exposed/. Shutterstock doesn't accept third party GenAI content, but they do recycle what you've created with their tool back into the library (so your prompts and creations are up for anyone to license with no attribution to you). Getty doesn't accept AI content nor make anything created in their generator public.

All awesome. I'll swear Getty was offering Gen-AI on the front page. Thanks for the dope on Adobe! And thanks for playing the game here.

I believe what you saw was Getty touting their AI Generator. Today they just released the ability to use that Generator (with subscription) to modify any of their existing creative RF image library.

Any time. Great blog.
