No?
People are paying for those pictures, either as a subscription or per-use basis. They’re paying a rate to reflects work; photographers, models, rights - all kinds of different costs up front. None of that exists with AI.
It’s sort of like sitting down to a restaurant, ordering and paying, and then getting served food from your own home. Some horseshit Kraft mac and cheese and fish sticks.
That “Adobe Stock” photo from the article is just some generic AI crap.
The door is wide open for a stock photo business right now, I guess.
Make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day
I was going to go Mint/Cinnamon, but now I’m going to more.
I’m old, so keep that in mind.
I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey in the theater when I was 7. I wasn’t even with my family, I was with a friend and his parents. It freaked me the freak out. That space baby at the end. The dreams I had.
No. We should always assume that voters cannot connect the dots. Spell everything the f*ck out, ELIF.
I didn’t count, is that how many there are? WOW, that’s a big ask. I think I’ll do my part and die someday to make room for another whatever this game is we’re talking about player
10% of all global gaming revenue? Does that include mobile games?
How close are they to that now? It doesn’t seem like they’re even as big as Minecraft.
The only thing that would be better than this is if they had Anthony Fauci do the seizing.
Can you imagine the ants nest that would kick.
Ito Junji enters the room
He’s blaming the parents of dead soldiers.
What a loser.
Trump’s next rally:
“I can do better!”
There is no native anything. We’re ALL transitional species. OF COURSE things get destroyed that are unrecoverable. We don’t have fish with armor. We don’t have giant sloths with stony skin. Trilobites are ALL OVER the Fossil record. We don’t have a single one today.
Let’s stop trying to preserve this thin slice, this snapshot of evolution as though it were the final destination. It’s not.
I like people; I’m one of them. But humans have only been here a few hundred thousand years. Life wasn’t struggling to produce US. We’re a (in our own minds) happy accident, produced by the opportunities afforded us in one of those earlier extinctions.
We will not be throwing away 4.5B years of evolution. We’ll just be demonstrating that too much intelligence is not a successful evolutionary trait.
Remember the Permian-Triassic extinction? Now THAT seemed like it doomed the planet, right? Two mass extinction events, BLAM-BLAM, back to back!
80% of marine invertebrate species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species WIPED OUT FOREVER.
Too much oxygen sometimes, too little others - that time it rained for 2 million years - the two times volcanoes froze the Earth.
Yet like the Dude, the Earth abides.
That’s a damn good stick
I wasn’t really arguing for the artist. I was arguing that Adobe is ripping people off by selling horseshit when the prices they’re charging are for a different product entirely. A more expensive one.
If they want to make AI stock photos available they should have a different tier. It should be cheaper. They shouldn’t just mix it in with their regular stock photos. It’s a different product and it’s a hell of a lot cheaper.
