Weren’t the small to medium businesses already mostly using stock images anyway? If anyone was to be worried I’d think it would be Getty Images.

- kazinator 4y agoThere is plenty of reason for artists who are hired for one-of-a-kind work to be worried. Getty Images will just get with the program and stock up on bazillions of AI generated images, indexed by the prompts used to generate them. Someone looking for stock images doesn't want to deal with artists, photographers or feeding prompts after prompt into some AI software, while not quite getting the desired result. If Getty makes it easier for someone to find some existing AI-generated image than to generate one, they still have something. A lot of the AI images we see in online blogs and galeries have been curated; people tinkered for hours with the stuff, and cherry-picked the best results. There could be some business model in that, at least for a while.
- CMCDragonkai 4y agoGetty would just be a cache with the prompts acting as the initial search index and buyers are just typing keywords in to buy cached images.
- kazinator 4y agoThat is not exactly so, because the prompts are not reproducible input cases; you don't get the same image every time for a given prompt. An association between a prompt and, say, around ten images would be something resembling a cache.
