Just got a few of my AI images approved from Adobe. It took nearly six weeks to get six out of 110 images approved. Good news some of the six are selling. The rest of my images are still waiting in the box for approval.

Not sure what software is best. I would guess Adobe Photoshop AI when it is truly ready for public will be the one. Time will tell. Many of you on this site may not agree but I think AI will be the way. It may be a hybrid of you putting your image in and having it make you a dozen different images. The AI I have seen is really amazing on the creative use of AI. On some of the AI images the details like hands sometime have issues. Just in the few months I have been playing with AI I can see software improvements. I think this will be like when digital took over film. Many of us did not like digital at first but now all of use use digital...... AI baby. That is the future.

It all depends on the picture.

If you can create medically correct images of open heart surgery, cancer treatments, or anything hospitals with lots of people and technology for which you would need endless property and model releases, I think you will have a winner.

Or industrial technology, workers on oil platforms, building cars, inside a chemical factory, the biotec lab, ...

But the correct details matter.

That is the problem with ai, even with food the details are usually wrong. It gets even worse with technology.

But all the difficult to shoot ideas or locations or professions, if somebody gets it right, this will certainly sell well.

"But my original question is whether there is a business in paying to e.g. Midjourney to then 10 cents on a picture?"

I am not sure you will recover the 10 cents an image. But you will earn knowledge of the simple AI that is available now. The AI will clearly get better and better. If you have some knowledge of it I think the 10 cents fee is a bargain... I for one don't like the AI for our future but none of us are going to stop it. Not only for our images but how about the Wall Street Stock Market. If everyone ask AI what are the most likely stocks to go up in the near future. Then you will only have winners. Without losers I am not sure what Wall street future will be.
