Something that I have been thinking about with regards to AI's affects in the future is the effect that increasingly advanced AI image generation will have on stock images. Stock images are commonly used in media of various kinds, as licensing said images is much easier than hiring people to take unique pictures.
However, since AI can now be used to generate images, it's quite possible that there will come a time when stock images will become obsolete, as it will become cheaper/easier to simply use AI image generation to produce faux stock images that look real. Thoughts?
