The AI race is getting more heated, and more participants are joining in. But some seem to be joining forces, too, trying to rule the text-to-image kingdom.

During the 2023 I/O event, Google and Adobe announced a collaboration in this field. From now on, Google’s chatbot Bard will integrate the text-to-image generator Adobe Firefly. This way, users will be allowed to generate, edit and share images straight from Bard’s command line instead of using two tools separately.

I don’t know many photographers these days who aren’t comfortable using post-processing software such as Photoshop or Lightroom. Many of these programmes are beginning to introduce AI features, with Adobe launching its own text-to-image generator Firefly this last month.

I can see the allure of using AI to fix skin retouching issues or make masking easier, for example. But how could we utilize text-to-image generators such as Midjourney to our advantage without denigrating ourselves as photographers? In this video, photographer Andrea Pizzini attempts to answer that question by demonstrating the new ‘describe’ feature.
