I am so disgusted with #AdobeExpress. Ever since they added #AI to their stock images, it's nearly impossible to find images generated by humans.

Sure, the occasional AI image *might* work well *if* I wanted to incorporate it into my book covers. But I don't. I want to use images created via a human mind with human skill--and voluntarily made available by that human for me to use.

Thanks to the AI vomit they've stirred into their kettle, Adobe Express stock photos are all but unusable now.

Inkscape supports converting PNG images to SVG images.

Select: File > Open > PNG image to convert > Open > File > Export > Plain SVG (located in Select Export Format drop down menu) > Export

This can be an alternative to uploading an image to a online converter such as Adobe Express at https://www.adobe.com/express/feature/image/convert/png-to-svg

Adobe’s AI image generators get beefy updates, including vector graphics - Enlarge / An AI-generated vector graphic of a barbarian and a landscape... - https://arstechnica.com/?p=1974894 #aiimagegenerator #generativematch #machinelearning #stablediffusion #generativefill #imagesynthesis #adobefirefly2 #fireflydesign #fireflyvector #adobeexpress #adobefirefly #illustrator #midjourney #photoshop #aiethics #biz⁢ #dall-e #openai #adobe #ai

#Adobe's definition of the word #express in #AdobeExpress: Upload everything to the cloud, even for the simplest task, like, you know, cropping an image.

The upload never finishes.

Such express. Many quick. Much convenience.

@jalefkowit I’d excuse it for small teams that have to push something out fast, but when #Adobe pulls that shit it tastes very sour. #AdobeExpress
