As a visual design lead, who has an advanced understanding of how to use Firefly and implement creative prompts, I can say expanding images/backgrounds, adding/removing object etc. can yield decent results. Creating anything from scratch however Firefly is relatively useless, anything with people, products/objects or exclude prompts it has a hard time. Our team has created thousands of images and we haven't used a single one in final output. A few other image generators are much better.

I use AI all the time. MidJourney is still the leader by a longshot in terms of image generation from scratch. However, firefly is pretty cool and looks incredibly promising and once it gets better will no doubt be a game changer. From an investment POV, my personal opinion is it's potentially a steal at the current level before they it becomes so good and the price skyrockets. I don't think it's a matter if but when it becomes a game changer.
