AI Art Getting Banned From Stock Photo Websites
With the popularity of AI image generators like Dall-E2, MidJourney, and Stable Diffusion, millions of computer-generated content have plagued the internet in recent months.
These AI tools produce images in seconds from a simple text prompt. Even amateur artists can now make high-quality and detailed artworks with proper prompt engineering.
The commercial license for these AI images permits the creator to put them up for sale on the internet. So, inevitably, they would reach photo-hosting sites in order to get monetized.
But some stock photo companies are not happy about it.
Getty, one of the biggest image hosting platforms has recently banned AI-generated content from uploads and sales.
