Ditto for photos.

A professional stock photo shoot requires 4 to 6 people on set, each billing their day rate. An AI image needs one person and a keyboard.
The lighting gear alone, strobes, softboxes, C-stands, octaboxes, boom arms, runs anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000 before you've hired a single human being.
A seamless paper backdrop needs replacing every few weeks in a busy studio. An AI background is infinite, flawless, and costs nothing.
You need a Producer to book the studio, a Prop Stylist to dress the set, a Hair and Makeup artist to prep the model, and a Food Stylist if there's anything edible in frame. The AI needs none of them.
Post-production, culling hundreds of shots, color grading, retouching, adds hours of skilled labor after the shoot is already over. AI output is ready in seconds.
Models require signed release forms, negotiated fees, and scheduling coordination across multiple agendas. AI models have no agenda, no agent, and no bad-hair days.
A professional studio buildout costs between $20,000 and $60,000 just to be competitive. An AI subscription costs less per month than a studio parking spot.
Weather, logistics, equipment failure, a model running late, a backdrop that wrinkles. Every real shoot is one crisis away from collapse. AI shoots never have a bad day.
