You guys all wrong, all but Getty and Adobe will disappear in max 3 years, the industry is changing almost every quarter because AI. SS disappearance will shake the dying industry. SS business model is now obsolete with many agencies offering the same garbage to the public.

I know a person in India who has hired 12 year old kids from a school to generate AI images, add keywords and upload them to Adobe. He manages 16 different accounts using names of family members and is making thousands of dollars. He told me that he uploads over 1000 images a day and is trying to expand his business to upload at least 3000 images a day.

I guess Yuri will be aware of how hard generative IA is going to hit his business.

AI Christmas and New Year's Day images have already passed in Adobe. Now easter and St. Patrick's Day images should be uploaded.

In the short term most camera and lens manufacturers will stop doing so. Wedding, social event and portrait professionals will use smart phones whose photos and videos will be manipulated by AI to give spectacular results. Of course, stock photographers will disappear just as the professional darkroom photo developers disappeared in the past. All this will happen in stages over the next three years as AI advances. It will be a slow and very painful end.

I have no doubt that at the rate artificial intelligence is advancing, stock photography has a maximum of two years left to live. Right now the smart thing to do is to sell all the lenses, equipment and cameras on ebay before it is too late and they become worthless junk.

There are countries in the world where for $60 you can buy an entire village, including the mayor's daughter.

Eventually, in approximately two years, the client will enter the keywords they currently use in the search engine, and as a result, pages and pages of images automatically just created by AI will appear, just like it happens now with photos. However, this time, no contributor will receive anything; everything will stay in Getty's bank account. That's the plan. That's the future.

The important thing is not the truth or what is true, but how people imagine that truth, even if it is a lie. Nowadays, people believe in their own truth, even if it's a lie. Truth is something subjective, dependent on who creates it or believes in it. Welcome to the new world of the 21st century.

Many more agencies will disappear during the next years, AI will eventually kill them all.

Given what's happening, I wouldn't upload any AI-generated images to Adobe for now, and I would delete the existing ones just in case. A portfolio of photos and videos uploaded over the years shouldn't be at risk of being deleted due to reasons that are unclear.

Instead of suspending the entire account, why don't they just remove all the images generated by artificial intelligence from the portfolio and block future uploads of AI-generated images from the contributor?

I recommend to everyone who is uploading images generated by artificial intelligence to Adobe to thoroughly review their portfolios. Several friends have already told me that their accounts have been suspended recently. It seems that Adobe is on a witch hunt.

They also dont read iptc data and their upload process is just painful and does not respect my time.
Also they dont take editorial video, which is major chunk of sales.
Adobe pays 33%, the lowest I get is 2.80 and my last sales were 26 - 55 dollars.
Even with these changes it will be very difficult for them to compete.
Instead of sacrificing profits, they make photographers pay for the videographers rise

No. We did that in 2004. It was called ShutterPoint or something. You can tell how well that worked out.
Did not work in 2004 but it might work in 2024 two choices either you get paid 10% commission on sales or you get paid 30% commission but you pay $5 a month per every 1000 images. Factories of course will get a special deal, as always. It might work

With new MJ versions coming this summer Ai illustrations will look 100% like photographs. By the end of this year, good bye stock photographers, goo bye models, good bye camera manufacturers. Unfortunately

Of course AI will demolish SS. A business concentrated in cheap stuff attracts cheap buyers, and cheap buyers will create their own AI images before paying this greedy bas_rds a dime. In the long run only adobe and Getty (maybe) will survive. For the rest...expect lot of Eye-em like bankruptcies.

The reason Getty is a sinking ship is because its greed and incompetence. More greed and more incompetence is gonna make things even worst.

Checked in on the Discord. Quote: "there were many people who sent 200, 300 AI images a day, I myself sent around 150 a day, then the moderators were overloaded" lol
I know a person in India who sent over 1000 images a day
