That means none of the images are protected by copyright.

And the people profiting from such content can't sue anyone who pirates the content. Good for traditional artists.

But for some applications that doesn't matter. Say I want a stock photo of some interns working in a generic office for an email or website about internships my work is offering. I don't really care if anyone can use them if it cost me nothing but a few minutes of time to generate the image. But now I don't have to pay to use stock photography, and can also have it somewhat customized to my needs.

There's a lot of focus on art and academics for AI images and text, but the real application is going to be boring office shit.

True that, it will be good for stock photos which don't need copyright. I was thinking of those few "AI commission artists" I saw on Deviantart, who were competing with traditional commission artists. But IMO the lack of copyright and the current state of AI art should help slow down those people from being commonplace and preserve traditional art.

I wonder how this is going to affect the stock image industry. Instead of a designer or editor have to look up and source stock photos, they’ll just get AI to generate what they need
