The assertion that they're a "competing business" is going to be very hard to convince a judge of.

Why? A lot of websites are already starting to use ai generated images rather than stock photos as headers for their articles. They would have previously paid companies like Getty for these.

It’s clearly the case already. Shutterstock sold pictures to open-AI to create Dalle-2. Which will soon be used to create what used to be stock photography. This example here is ridiculously bad tho 🤣

The dalle2 thing is an interesting wrinkle but a judge will need to be convinced that a photograph and generated-image that looks like a photograph are the same thing. They aren’t imo but it doesn’t matter what I think.
