There's still space for real and editorial, that AI can't make...

depends what you mean by editorial - for AS it's anything that needs a model release, even if it's not newsworthy - eg generic people in an office - here AI is an easy alternative

Editorial images are images that can only used for editorial uses, like for example to illustrate a newspaper article and must not be used for advertisment. They also should NOT be altered in a way that compromises their editorial value

Generic people in an office with model releases are not editorial content. Where did you get the notion that for Adobe every image with people that need a model release is editorial?

I bet that's what you meant?    Yes, Editorial, news, real subjects, not Illustrative Editorial which is something entirely different. And no, to the other half, anything with a person or needing a model release is NOT editorial on AS. I'll just quote what AS says:

For illustrative editorial, we don�t accept:

    Images that feature recognizable people
    Images of restricted events such as conventions and sports games
    Images that feature tight crops of copyrighted or trademarked material, such as stamps, fine art, or other content that may violate privacy rights
    Digitally created or manipulated versions of trademarked logos or other brand content � other than social media icons

And lets not forget, that for AI, since the subject has become AS, we cannot include recognizable people.

So I'm going to repeat myself. For real and Editorial, such as news and current events, public figures, real people, AI will not fulfill the need for real images or truthful photos of something.
