1 - 2 years, once people start putting together micro services around particular ai art styles.
So instead of a blank canvas, there might be on platform strickly for 3d assets, or anime wallpaper, or website icons, or website illustrators for example. then it will blow up
@heynigee I agree, I feel like it needs to be used mainly for editing rather than generating from scratch which has the issue of copyright infringement
@maxwellcdavis It is 100% ready to use now. It is all prompts and art generator. I am building femmestock.com, providing feminine Ai stock images to female entrepreneurs and social media influencers.
@nilans@matcha_anil It is all about the prompts and the AI art generator. I make all stock images for my own use and my friend's lifestyle blog. With that. It inspired me to build femmestock.com
There are such projects as https://generated.photos/ or something like that. They're already made for professional use. But it all depends upon the request. AI doesn't generate images with high resolution. But I think it's a matter of time.
What truly interests me in the realm of AI and images, is using the AI to help predict what existing images will perform the best based on your marketing audience. I think this is the first use case that will be achieved, and will be available in the next 6 months. They already have some versions of it that uses small data sets, but haven't extended it out yet. The next wave will be taking that information and adjusting or creating new images based on those same values. To me this is one of the best use cases for AI images.
Pieter Levels is already building an AI product that can help you generate professional headshots and photo shoots. https://photoai.io
If you do pay for a photographer yourself, it might be $250-1,500 per shoot which gives you 75-100 photos.
With photoai.io you instead train a model of yourself (or a model if you’re an agency) on photos of them and generate shoots in different locations, times, apparel, and poses. With the Pro plan you get 1,000 photos per month, so about 10 regular photo shoots, which means $2,500 to $15,000 if it was a real photo shoot. So about 100x to 500x cheaper than booking a real photographer.
