Re: Is AI killing the stock photo industry? A data perspective
#2I had to put together a presentation that was somewhat graphic-heavy. I used Dall-e 2, and the ability to get things so tailored to what I needed, so quickly, was absolutely worth it.
I don't know if AI will replace stock photography, but I wouldn't bet against it.
The ability to charge a high price for stock photography is over though.

I wish MidJourney had some decent competition.
Dall-E hasn’t improved since it was released, and the other good models like Google’s Imagen weren’t made public…

Has been for a long time from what I have gathered. Stock photography has been a very hard way to make money as a photographer for awhile based on the forums I read.

And the sad thing is that these models are most likely trained upon most of these stock photos to begin with. I can understand the frustration of the industry.

I don’t think AI will replace stock photos because AIs need some photos to build the AI photos.
Probably AI will help photographers to cut costs, I mean by taking less “real” photos and using the AI to generate other similar variants, example: “Photos Used to Generate AI Images for Client So Photographer Never Shoots Again Photos Used to Generate AI Images for Client So Photographer Never Shoots Again” https://petapixel.com/2022/12/21/photos-used-to-generate-ai-...

There are public static diffusion models trained on/like midjourney, but IMO they're still lacking.

Stable Diffusion is still good but you need to fine tune it (not that expensive with Lora) and use controlnet to get good results. The model is just too small on its own.

What's behind MidJourney, and how has it not been matched/defeated? There's a lot of interest in the space and money to be made, and MidJourney proves that quality results are possible. Is it because of the sheer costs or a secret sauce?

Kandinsky 2.1 is worth a shot if you haven’t tried it.
