Adobe Firefly is the next AI to get shamed for awkwardly generated images

After Google’s Gemini got backlashed for generating historically inaccurate images Adobe’s Firefly text to image generator gets the whip.

As reported by Daily Mail, Firefly recently created images with black nazis, black Vikings and women and black Founding Fathers.

I suspected that the journalists may have forced the image generator so I have made some experiments of my own.

To my surprise, when I asked the bot for an image of German soldiers in 1945, one of the images was really awkward. There is nothing about the image to show the context of German soldiers in WW II, not even the uniforms.

After that, I got a realistic representation. However, when I added black skin to the prompt, Firefly happily complied and provided the image below.

Again, not even the ship resembles Viking construction. As for the women in the picture, we can safely say that they have nothing to do with the Norsemen.

I concluded my experiment here, and although I didn’t get the exact outrageous results as the folks from Daily Mail, it’s clear that Firefly doesn’t have any clue about history or drawing.

If you ignore the inaccurate representations of history, in my experiment, Adobe’s tool seriously botched the characters’ faces in almost all the images. Will Adobe close its bot as Google did with Gemini? We can’t tell yet, but they need to do something about these hallucinations.

Did you get any awkward results from Adobe Firefly? Let us know about that in the comments section below.
