There is a certain class of images that will be largely unaffected - anything where authenticity matters. Such as a space walk photo from the ISS, a celebration moment in the Olympics, presidential speech, met gala fashion shots etc. and the authentic non generative photos could go up in value as photographers who do not have access to those moments either start to resort to AI or to fall out of the competition.

Hmm I wonder... Space walk for your average article might be more selling if generated. Olympics, maybe some posing setup would sell more too. Presidential speech surely they want more "representative" gallery or fix some defects. Met Gala fashion, again make things better.

Propaganda and need to sell things are powerful motives. And AI generation and modification are great tools for that. Authenticity sell to very few.

China faked videos from Olympics, so.. It will work if nobody can tell the difference and details are unknown.
