I’m old enough to remember the Sally Struthers ads… I suspect that we’ll be seeing AI-generated images of everything (including product shots), soon. I’ll bet the biggest driver, will be that there won’t be any issues with provenance. I occasionally get attempts at “extortion,” with my sites, where they try to claim an image in my postings is pirated (I always make sure of provenance —I used to work for a photography company). If everyone uses AI-generated, that’s going to be a tougher task for the scammers. Not sure if “AI-enhanced” will become more common for this kind of thing, though.

> I’m old enough to remember the Sally Struthers ads… I’m old enough to remember when South Park took the piss out of Sally Struthers. I have no idea who Sally Struthers is and I’ve never seen any of the adverts.

  She was fairly big, in the 1970s (I’m old). She played Archie Bunker’s daughter, in All in the Family. Famous for her “whining” ads: https://youtu.be/bGTEKWRLJuQ https://youtu.be/bGTEKWRLJuQ In some of them, she would be walking around in a destitute village, looking disgusted. Terrible ads.

    I’m old enough, just not from the US. > She was fairly big According to South Park, that’s true. With her ending up looking like Jabba the Hut in a later episode!

> I suspect that we’ll be seeing AI-generated images of everything (including product shots), soon. This is already a thing. There are high-quality tools specifically for it. I saw a video from a photographer who works in that industry and his opinion is that their jobs are over and they need to prepare to do something else.
