sam weiss reacted to TeryFlip in Affinity A-I app
The state that AI is in is the worst it will ever be. We will never be able to escape it as there's too much money to be made off of it. Artists can boycott all they want, but they'll be back. They need to eat and compete somehow. There are artists who use the tools to their advantage and are winning.

That's not clear. The photographers and artists who have uploaded their work to Adobe stock did not explicitly agree to have their work used for AI image generation training. Adobe does not allow opting out, which is concerning.
There's also been no clear answer that they haven't relied on other unethically obtained datasets. Their relationship with Kris Kashtanova also makes me skeptical that things were done ethically.
I and others have pointed concerned artists towards the Affinity Suite as an option to send a message to Adobe and other companies that they won't financially support them over their use of AI generated images. I do believe that Serif would lose customers if they pursue this.
But I agree that other uses, like upscaling as you mentioned, are fine. Those are a separate issue from image generation.

Firefly has no legal issues, because they trained their model on their own stock content.
What I would like to see in Affinity Photo is "basic" AI stuff like upscaling, compression artefact removal etc. - not txt2img generation.

I don't think it's a good idea.
There are serious ethical and legal issues.
Adobe and other companies are losing artists as customers because of their use of AI image generation-- and Serif is gaining them. They are boycotting adobe, artstation, DeviantArt, and other predatory companies over this specific issue.
If Serif tries to jump into the AI fad like this before the legal and ethical problems are resolved, I'm sure they'll lose more than they'll gain.
Besides, there are plenty of other options out there if that's your thing. The hit to their credibility and reputation just isn't worth shoehorning this stuff in, imo.

sam weiss got a reaction from HalHart in A Request For Affinity.Serif To Support Right-To-Left Languages.
We want Affinity to support Right-To-Left languages like the Adobe software, not with a third-party app, like the RTL fixer artwayz, remember that more than 400 million people worldwide are using RTL languages' this can increase the amount of the affinity customers.

Can affinity.serif support RTL as a part of the newer versions (non with a tird-party software)?

If affinity.serif can support RTL languages as a part of the software, not with a third-party software, (like adobe supports RTL languages as a part of their software) like - arabic . aramaic . azeri . dhivehi/maldivian . hebrew kurdish(sorani) persian/farsi . urdu,?

If you're making a request that Affinity support RTL (rather than asking a question about whether it can) you should find one of the topics in the Feature Requests (Feedback) forum from the search URL that I posted before, and post your agreement in that topic.

There is no version 2.0.
I always tell people to not expect things from new versions. I would say you would be best served by assuming that it won't be. We don't even know if there will be version 2 in a month or a year or a decade.
