"According to a McKinsey report, AI adoption in the enterprise has more than doubled since 2017, with industries from finance to healthcare incorporating AI into their organizations and seeing increasing financial returns as a result."

"Another report, from Stanford University, found that there has been an 18x increase in private investment in AI over the last decade."

"Petapixel reported that thousands of AI-generated images were being offered on stock photo websites, and tutorials on selling AI art were circulating on YouTube. This sparked a fierce debate about what was in store for the industry as a whole."

"Soon after, Shutterstock, one of the largest providers of stock images, footage, and music, removed such content from its website."

"To fairly reward contributors who might be affected by the partnership with OpenAI, they announced an additional form of compensation for content creators — a revenue share compensation model for those whose content is used in training datasets for developing AI algorithms."

"Either way, Shutterstock is pushing the entire industry to innovate and motivating other companies to embrace AI disruption."

"In the company’s most recent announcement, Shutterstock said that it has partnered with NVIDIA ​​to create 3D assets from text prompts."

"Another stock photo agency, Getty Images, has been more reluctant to embrace AI and join the generative AI rush."

"The collaboration aims to use responsible AI to improve visual content creation and address the ethical and legal issues surrounding AI-generated content."

"Additionally, Getty Images has been in the news recently for suing Stability AI, a company behind Stable Diffusion."

"Last month, the company announced Adobe Firefly, a toolkit of AI models that can be used to create various types of visual content — from illustrations, art concepts, and photos to “creative ingredients” such as brushes, color gradients, text effects, or video transformations."

"Officially, the company has neither banned nor allowed its users to post AI-generated content when answering questions on the platform."

"Quora has reportedly been removing such content that has been published on the platform as discussions about it have been going on."

"What’s interesting is that, as Quora CEO Adam D’Angelo wrote in his post in early February, the volume of weekly answers on Quora reached the highest level in its history. Was ChatGPT part of this growth? Who knows."

"The company has released a new app called Poe, which stands for “Platform for Open Exploration.”"

"In addition, the company is developing an API that will make it easy for any AI developer to plug their model into Poe."

"The other concern with AI disruption for community-based platforms is that some Q&A volunteers can take advantage of the chatbot’s superpower to provide instant answers, and post these AI responses to the community without having to check their quality."

"Its users have been using ChatGPT to answer coding questions on the site, resulting in a spate of AI answers on the platform. Inundated with them, the platform’s volunteer-based curation infrastructure was virtually overwhelmed by content that, while being compelling, had a “high rate of inaccuracy.”"

"With the rest of their sites, moderators have opted for the no-ban ChatGPT tactic, at least until they experience a volume of AI-generated content that becomes cumbersome to manage."
