especially curious about the coming video sales.

Where on stocks are AI-created videos already sold? And how much of it is there already?

I would also start generating AI images myself. But there are problems that I don't like.
1. Adobe often bans the portfolios of these authors.
2. Not all stock agencies accept AI images.

I agree and ...

3.How does one develop their own style with AI so that their art doesn't look like the work of 10 million other AI artists?
4.If I have an idea before anyone else, how can I avoid having it copied since copying with AI is so easy?

I still sell some of my 15 year old photographs well ... while I have many doubts that an AI image can continue to earn money for 15 years.

But if you are losing income and think it is because of AI, then learn to shoot videos. You have time.

I've thought about it many times, but for now I continue to be a photographer.

I think my success in these years is due to the high quality of my shots. Quality for me is the most important thing.

So if I were to make videos, I would have to do it with the highest quality. And I think it takes a long time to get good earnings.

I read online about some contributors who publish their earnings, have 2000/3000 videos and earn $200 a month ... so it would just be a waste of time.

If you are afraid of competition from AI and don't want to create images with AI, then the only option left is to shoot videos.

just look at all the complaints here about being copied & people won't post their portfolios links for that fear (as if there are so many copyists here as opposed to those copying from MS sites)

Yes, I do stock full time, I have some niches and I have to pay bills for my family.

Is this a problem for you?

Please be more respectful.

Well you can't just complain and whine here and not try to adapt because you had success the last 15 years.
Just remember Kodak's ignorance.

3. You can train image models with your own content and create LORAs. This means you use a standard image model like flux and create visual fine tuning with your own photographic style.

4. Just don't create generic stuff, which can be easily be copied.

could ai really steal my original photo ideas like that
