Generative artificial intelligence is transforming creative work in myriad ways, with AI features creeping into software for everything from image manipulation to 3D modelling and video generation. But text continues to be a challenge.
AI image generators have got a lot better at rendering words, and some can now generate legible text in image on demand at least some of the time, although any text in backgrounds still tends to be garbled. So the Firefly-powered AI text generator, Text Effects in Adobe Express, is pretty impressive. It can output the words you want in the graphical style you ask for ready to be dropped into a design project. But how well does it work? I tested it out as part of our Typography Week.
