AI imagery and stock photography debate...

[John Morrison]

Something to read, and something to watch…

 

Having slowed down my production of stock imagery, I haven't really kept up with the latest news about AI.

 

Having watched the YouTube video, I now realise there are hundreds which tackle the same theme. 

 

Should we be excited... or terrified? Is there any future for stock as we know it?

I prefer to think positively about this. When fake news and fake pics become so widespread people will not know what they can trust.

 

Hopefully, this will mean a return to the use of trusted sources for news, information, and, of course, for imagery.

some buyers will ALWAYS

want REAL photos & will

require verification from

agencies that they are

REALLY REAL MAN

an embarrassing incident just
happened in music industry

AI could generate some really great images of mushrooms (tried it myself), but I don't think it would replace editorial stock photography. I'm not terrified at all.
