Firefly is Adobe's entry to generative features. The point is not one stunning image but a connected workflow: generated or edited results move into Photoshop or Illustrator for manual work, with layers, masks and type intact. Text effects and graphic generation are well behaved, suited to marketing assets. Adobe publishes notes on training sources and result usage; check them before commercial use. On its own it may not win, but inside an Adobe workflow it pays off.
