Adobe Fresco, a free digital painting app, is often overshadowed by its more popular counterparts, but a recent announcement at Adobe MAX London highlights its importance as a safe space for artists seeking refuge from the influence of generative AI. The new ‘Created without generative AI’ tag can be applied to all digital art made using Fresco, providing a clear distinction between human-created and AI-generated content. This tag has significant implications for artists, as it ensures their work is not used for AI training purposes, thereby protecting their rights.
- Protection of artistic integrity
- Preservation of human creativity
- Separation from AI-generated content
By assigning this tag to their work, artists can opt out of data training, which is embedded in the image’s Content Credentials. This means that if an artist exports their work directly to social media, the tag will be preserved, and the instruction to keep their work human-created will be maintained. I spoke with Zeke Koch, Vice President of Product Management for Adobe’s Generative AI applications, to gain insight into the importance of Fresco as a platform for human-created art. “Content Credentials was originally designed to prove that something was human-created,” he explained. “The initial idea was to develop a tool that tracked how an image was made and altered. It would attach a log of each change with the artist’s name associated with it.”
As generative AI becomes increasingly integrated into Adobe’s Creative Cloud apps, including Photoshop and Illustrator, Fresco’s ‘Created without generative AI’ tag feels like a refreshing oasis for artists seeking a space to create handmade art without the influence of AI. Perhaps you’re not familiar with Fresco or haven’t had a chance to try it out. However, if you have an iPad for drawing or a tablet with a stylus, Fresco is definitely worth considering.
