They are, after all, mostly designed so that people with no design experience can type in a few words and get back a usable result. So I was pleasantly surprised by Adobe's latest take on an AI image assistant: it's a bot designed to take away some busywork, while still granting you creative control. Unlike AI generators that are specifically designed to make and edit images or video, Adobe's Firefly AI Assistant, which I've been testing in beta, is more like a multitasking middleman that can operate Adobe's design apps for you.
