Welcome to episode 097 of the AI for Technical Writers podcast from Curt Robbins. This educational content, designed to give you a competitive edge, is targeted at IT professionals and technical writers.
Today's bonus episode features a tool review article for Adobe Firefly, the AI-powered image generator. It examines the utility and overall appeal (and cost) of the text-to-image generator for technical communicators and various business types.
The review specifically analyzes Firefly's utility for technical writers and enterprise users, highlighting its major benefit as its seamless integration with the existing Adobe ecosystem and its training on commercially safe data to avoid copyright issues.
Conversely, the article notes that Firefly's creative output may be less advanced than competitors and is less accessible to users not already invested in Adobe Creative Cloud products.
Ultimately, Robbins recommends Firefly as a powerful, legally safer option for organizations and individuals who are already Adobe subscribers, while also advising readers to investigate competing tools.
"It will not be AI that takes away the job of a technical writer, but rather another technical writer with deep AI skills," said Robbins.
I am currently taking on new clients. I enjoy helping companies with their documentation and communications strategy and implementation. Contact me to learn about my reasonable rates and fast turnaround. — Curt
