    As opposed to the previous trend of getty greedily monopolising the industry, stealing images that they don’t own copyright for and using their lawyers to mute smaller competitors they steal from? In this case AI is the lesser of two evils. If you don’t hate getty, you simply don’t know enough about them.

      The better news is that Getty is going tits up, then the AI bubble will burst and we won’t have to deal with so much of that bullshit either.

        The ai bubble bursting and hardware prices crashing would make local gen even more affordable.

        Which means cheap generic ass stock filler imgs would be easy and accessible for everyone.

        Fuck ai, but fuck getty more. Anything that undermines them is good.
