Will Artificial Intelligence kill creativity?
No! It’s a myth that creativity is lost when AI is used, especially when assisting the production of influencer content.
AI tools can boost influencers' and content creators' creativity by offering idea generation, creation assistance, augmented creativity, and much more.
Generative AI can create new things like images, text, or music. It learns from examples and then makes new assets that look or sound real – in the same way that an artist or musician learns from seeing or hearing inspiration all around them, and then makes something new based on their learnings.
These tools can provide insights, assistance, and experimentation opportunities without overshadowing the creator's unique vision and voice. Ultimately, Generative AI has the potential to revolutionize various industries, such as Influencer Marketing, by enabling automated content creation at scale and enhancing creativity by providing new tools and possibilities for expression.
Since its initial launch in March 2023, we’ve been working with Adobe on an influencer campaign to raise awareness of their Firefly product amongst professional creatives and those at entry-level, empowering users to push the boundaries of their imagination and transform their design approach.
Adobe Firefly is a game-changing web application that directly integrates into Adobe’s Core Tools – Photoshop, Illustrator, and Adobe Express. Firefly is for creating extraordinary content using the power of creative generative AI.
As Firefly hits its first birthday, demonstrations of the product’s features and versatility in influencer content have made it easier for creatives to explore and have fun with the tools. They show that no matter your experience, you can dive in and create some amazing stuff with the support of Generative AI.
Influencers experimented with the use of AI in their content creation while aligning with their audience's preferences. This innovative approach not only resonates with the influencers’ audiences, but injects unexpected elements of creativity.
The Baking Explorer showed her Instagram audience how easy it can be to use Adobe Firefly to generate images using only a few words to inspire cake decorating ideas, playing with a mix of AI and imagination.

She spoke to her audience about the Firefly features she enjoys using, and finally revealed her real-life Firefly birthday cake versus the Firefly-generated image, showing how she made it come to life.
