Adobe's AI Image Generator: Ethical and Creative Opportunities for Small Businesses

Adobe's Firefly AI image generator has been praised for its ethical approach to AI art, using only public domain work and content from its own stock image library. However, some Adobe Stock contributors are unhappy that their images are being used to train AI without their consent and are concerned about compensation. Adobe is still working out how to compensate contributors and is considering offering an opt-out. Despite these concerns, Firefly remains the most likely solution to tackle the issue of copyright in AI images.

Unrecord, a first-person shooter video game developed by Drama Studio, has impressed many with its incredibly realistic and unique video-like quality. The game uses an old type of optical illusion to achieve its realism, playing with perspective and stylization of video and bodycam footage to give the impression of a lifelike space recorded as video. Unrecord is being developed using Unreal Engine 5 and features a free-aiming system that uses an authentic animation for its aiming and unrestricted hand movements. The game is not a simulation game but places an emphasis on achieving new levels of immersion.

While AI animation has a long way to go, it has the potential to enhance creativity if used ethically and responsibly.

Mathematicians have discovered a new 13-sided two-dimensional shape called the 'Hat', which can be used indefinitely in a pattern without ever repeating. The Hat is an aperiodic monotile, meaning a single tile can be used across an entire surface without ever repeating. The discovery of this new shape could open up new design and graphic design challenges and ideas, providing designers and artists with a new shape to play with. The Hat's angles and 13-sides could make it a tricky one to work into new logos and projects, but it could be used in tiled floors, fabric patterns, and designer wallpaper.
