I posted a question somewhat related a few days ago: I’m sure similar question was proposed when the digital camera came round. What does creativity mean now and in the future when you type in anything you want and generate any type of content? Video , photos, music, books etc Where are is the value add by the creator?

All I know is before when I’d want an image id have to buy it from one of many stock photo websites where I imagine a photographer is partially compensated for the image. Now I just type what I want to see and it’s there. Those people are losing significant income if not all of it. I’m not arguing that they are not shifting their focus elsewhere, but there is no argument that sales must be down for them.
