In an email from Storyblocks today titled "Two new ways to create faster," you can probably guess what they're selling. The slop maker of course.
"Weβve launched two new ways to help you find exactly what you need, faster.
Artist Voices bring distinctive, human-inspired AI narration into AI Voiceover, giving you more expressive voice options trained on real professional artists...
And with Search by Sound, you can upload any audio reference to instantly discover similar music and SFX - matched by tone, style, and pacing."
Artist voices inspired by humans. I want to gag reading this. This is one of the most egregious misuses of the technology.
And how much does replacing yourself with slop cost? Only about $252 per year, which is a discounted rate for paying annually, to start with a few "credits" per month. They'll happily charge you for higher tiers, like their "Small Business" license which is about $480 per year.
I once considered using Storyblocks because of their stock media but quickly discovered the "AI Toolkit." No artist or creator should ever use this service. Be wary of anyone who takes them as a sponsor as well. This represents everything in the #enshittification of everything.
