With AI coming into play, will the stock media business be affected? What can we do to adapt and stay ahead?

I have seen some Adobe advertises, I don’t think anyone would need any stock/market in couple of years as everything would be way cheaper and easier with AI ( graphics )

I think AI will definitely change things, but there will still be a place for high-quality, unique stock media. AI can make things cheaper and faster, but it won’t replace the creativity and style that designers bring to the table. To stay ahead, I’d focus on offering something more personalized or high-end that AI can’t replicate. It’s all about adapting and finding your niche!

Not really. I’m not wasting my time to find the idea. I’m using AI to create logos ( ideas ) and “re-touching” it if required.

On top, there’re too many stock websites that you could find anything you want.If you’re not getting paid enough, you’d be doing the same thing as me, to save your time. You’re not going to give away your time for almost free if you’re experienced designer.

While AI can generate logos quickly, many clients still prefer logos with a unique “taste” that reflects their brand’s identity. AI lacks the ability to capture the emotional connection and nuance that a human designer brings. Clients want something that not only looks good but also aligns with their values and audience, which is where the designer’s creativity truly adds value.

Many clients do not want to pay $$$ for logos anymore, because they know they can find one faster and cheaper..
