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

I have been replaced by AI. Actually I am not me anymore, I am AI. I don't exist. Nothing exist. Everything is just an illusion. We are all AI.

What about the 2.6 millions AI generated images already uploaded and actually for sale in Adobe Stock Photo web site? Most of them generated by Midjourney

And this is nothing, AI is here to stay, dominate and put this circus of greedy agencies, contributors, stockphoto YouTubers, keywording sites etc. out of business. Soon customers will ask AI in google for the images they want and instantly (for free) they will get a bunch of similar images to choose from. Probably with much better looking models than the originals for sale in photo stock sites.
"Google, give me a sunset Nikon Z9 35mm 2.8 photo of a smiling group of Swedish nurses wearing lab coats looking at the camera......" will be available very soon, very soon

These companies are run by greedy bean counters. They have a team of incompetents to adorn their contributors "squeezing even more" policies with BS. I would stay away from these suckers. Makes no sense to be their slaves.

I typed "generative AI" in search and it returned around 1.300.000 images, I guess it is actual data (there is even more because not all them are tagged with generative AI). It might be 0.1%, but it was uploaded in very short time unlike other billion images. About flooding everything else, see for example pizza images, sorted by most recent. Many images on first page are generative AI, even if it wasn't written in title and keywords:
I don't understand the point; there was trillion of pizzas even before the AI images production.
Complaint about AI is useless, it's here to stay and it will be more and more used in the future, with higher performance. Do you think you can stop this?
Or do you prefer SS that cut out contributors, preventing us to use AI, while at the same time they give clients DIY system that will not give anything to contributors?
I am frustrated because it is getting harder than usual for new images to be noticed. And I think AI is unfair competition because million images can be produced very quickly. That's all. I am just expressing my opinion, I have learned by now that I can't change anything.
AI images will eventually substitute photos in the microstock market

David Holz, midjourney CEO, said less than an hour ago that he doesn't like midjourney-generated images being put up for sale through stock agencies. He said that he is seriously considering banning the sale of midjourney-generated images through stock agencies.
Where?
Yesterday in a town hall meeting he organizes every Wednesday in discord from 12 noon to 4 pm. Pacific time
Very interesting meetings with David Holz, they also talked about the new /blend mode, with results almost of photography quality
Everyone can now use the /blend mode, it is amazing
This person is talking garbage.
First he built a tool which disrupted the market and many people lost their job.
And now he is afraid that with stock agencies the market is getting disrupted.
He said it in January 25th, 2023. I did not invented. In "office hours" town hall meeting David Holz said several times that he does not like mid journey images in stock portals and he is seriously considering to ban the sale of Midjourney generated content in stock photo web sites. I AM NOT LYING. He said it in front of more than 1000 mid journey members.

I really hope Adobe is working on their own AI. One that is even better than all that is out there now. Would keep them independent and they understand the media design business perfectly.
They can use the files we upload now as a bench mark and make sure their AI is superior.
If the have their own AI, what do they need the AI "artist" contributors for?

AI eventually will replace the photographer, the contributor and the agency. And the customer will get his/her images for free. It is matter of time.

Getty just want a piece of the cake, nothing (or almost nothing) for the artists no matter what. They are not better than the other party.

Adobe, over 500k AI images for sale, 99% will never be sold because there is little or no use for them. By the end of the year, following the actual trend of uploads, it will be 5 millions for sale. When do you think Adobe will start charging for uploading AI generated garbage into their portal?

Generative AI will kill the business of illustrators as we know it in less than 6 months, specially the ones who make their living from stock illustrations. Stock photography will last maybe one more year. Most agencies will go out of business.

In 10 years the microstock business as we know it will not exist, 90% of the regular clients of the agencies will stop buying subscriptions and will generate their own images using artificial intelligence programs. What is going to happen in the future is that little by little the sales of microstock will disappear and many people will give up and dedicate themselves to something else. One after another the agencies will disappear or declare bankruptcy.

What is this new thing Microsoft Create? It looks a lot like Canva.
Microsoft is launching a new website designed to highlight its consumer-facing creative apps. The site makes it easy to discover and create content using apps like PowerPoint, Clipchamp, and Designer. The website is available now, with more creative services coming later.
