Just a commentary, I find it quite amusing how shutterstock "announced" this:
https://support.submit.shutterstock.com/s/article/Content-Policy-Updates-AI-generated-Content?language=en_US
and is pretending to be taking the "high road" to "AI" generated images, when:

a) The basically STOLE the datasets from EVERY contributor on their platform, QUICKLY "licensed" it (to I am assuming it to either a sister, or subsiduary company)
b) Then, to "compensate" contributors - picked a number out of their a__ (most likely SEVERELY undervalued) to "pay" contributors...

And now is pretending to have the "moral highground" with "AI" (which is not true AI, its simply pattern re-arrangement) generated images...

It's really funny what their "announcement" says, lol "responsible AI" <cough cough bullsh_t>:

Stopped uploading to them a LONG time ago, just because:
a) they don't value contributors (for existing sales, i.e., literally pennies for both images & videos)
b) nonsense like the above gobblygook
c) how the previous CEO basically trashed the company so he could cash out a billionaire...
