> IMHO near term a lot of that stuff might start showing up in advertising and news content, the whole media industry is going to be a massive consumer of this stuff.
One of the candidate for mayor of New York ran a whole AI video ad campaign.
Half of the real estate listings have AI remodeled pictures.
Probably a quarter of the printed ads I see each day are AI generated.
It will only increase, but it's already here.
Real estate agents only use AI because it's cheaper than paying $70 CAD per image for human-made images. There's a cap on how valuable the AI generated images are.
The last time I sold a house, a professional photographer took some beautiful photos, gave the realtor like 60-80 and he picked 40 for the listing. He absorbed the cost of that with his commission. No way in hell did he pay $2800-5600 (I'm also in Canada) for those photos.
I'm referring to virtual staging, not photography
