    I think what matters if you would’ve otherwise hired someone. Otherwise I can’t see it making any impact.

    And in a lot of cases you would’ve paid for stock photo company anyway

      I don’t agree:

      Before if you chose not to hire someone, you’d be competing against better products from people who did hire someone. Hiring someone gave them a competitive advantage.

      By removing the competitive advantage of hiring someone, you’re destroying an entire career path, harming the economy and society in general.

        A lot of AI use I’m personally seeing is shit most wouldn’t spend money on or stuff where instead of paying for a stock photo they just generate shit and be done with it. Would they have ever paid someone to do the work and especially would anyone have agreed to do such small work that’d never pay anything reasonable, most likely no.

        I guess I don’t believe in quite as much in the invisible hand of capitalism. I rather think it’s a race to the bottom with companies buying some cheap slop to use on their webpage or whatever from a stock photo company and now people pay AI companies for it, if anyone. Can’t see the big impact of that sort of shit being replaced.
