My guess is that AI’s first big victim for graphic design will be stock art. Previously, crap like that background asset would just be stock purchased from Getty or Adobe stock. Now it can be generated.

I’m already starting to use it instead of paying for bullshit licenses.

The fun part here though is they dont have copyright on that art. If any of the “stock AI footage” becomes iconic, its public domain.

Dicey spot for a studio to be in, but it does save some bucks, so they are plowing ahead.
