AI's Visual Explosion

AI Has Already Created As Many Images As Photographers Have Taken in 150 Years

The world has witnessed a profound transformation with AI's visual explosion. AI has not only matched but outpaced traditional photography, creating as many images as photographers have taken in 150 years. This revolution has been spurred in part by more than 15 billion images generated using text-to-image algorithms since just last year.

The emergence of AI in the creation of visual art has brought forth a new paradigm where machines play an integral role in the artistic process. The utilisation of algorithms, particularly text-to-image ones, allows for instantaneous conversion of textual descriptions into vivid images. This has given artists and creators an unprecedented level of flexibility and creativity, allowing them to experiment and iterate at an unprecedented scale.

With AI's ability to produce billions of images in such a short period, the sheer volume and diversity of visual content have exploded. From digital marketing to entertainment and fine arts, generative AI art has found applications in numerous domains, driving a visual revolution.

Some Key Insights from the recent EveryPixel’s Report:

• More than 15 billion images created using text-to-image algorithms since last year. To put this in perspective, it took photographers 150 years, from the first photograph taken in 1826 until 1975, to reach the 15 billion mark.

• Since the launch of DALLE-2, people are creating an average of 34 million images per day.

• The fastest-growing product is Adobe Firefly, the suite of AI algorithms built into Adobe Photoshop. It reached 1 billion images created in just three months since its launch.

• Midjourney has 15 million users, the largest user base of any image generation platform for which we have publicly available statistics. Compare: Adobe Creative Cloud, which consists of Adobe Photoshop and other graphic design and video editing software, including the generative AI tool Adobe Firefly, has 30 million users, according to Prodesigntools.

• Approximately 80% of the images (i.e. 12.590 billion) were created using models, services, platforms, and applications based on Stable Diffusion, which is open source.

Why Has the Generative AI Revolution Been So Big?

The efficiency of AI algorithms, coupled with the innovative approach of text-to-image creation, has unlocked new potentials in visual art. Artists are no longer bound by traditional methods and can explore various styles and formats quickly.

Generative AI art has democratised art creation by making it accessible to a broader audience. Whether you're an experienced artist or a beginner, AI-powered tools provide the means to create visually stunning pieces without the need for specialised skills.

The future is ripe with potential thanks to the generative AI art revolution. The opportunities for innovation in fields like virtual reality, augmented reality, and highly personalised content creation have barely been tapped. With AI's continued evolution and adaptation, the horizon looks set for a profound transformation that could alter the fundamental nature of visual communication and artistic expression.

The explosion of AI's visual capabilities, coupled with the advent of generative AI art, symbolises a pivotal convergence of technology and artistry. This fusion has ushered in a reimagining of creative potential, forging new paths for artistic exploration and laying the groundwork for a future teeming with boundless opportunities. This era, characterised by its breadth, diversity, and fresh innovation, is signaling a transformation in visual art, and the global community is merely scratching the surface of what is possible.

Despite the surge in AI-generated art, the future remains bright for exceptional photographers, who are likely to reap the most rewards from AI's advancements. The integration of artificial intelligence stands to amplify their artistic endeavours, unlocking avenues to discover new creative landscapes, streamline mundane processes, and concentrate on the irreplaceable aspects of human touch, narrative, and emotional resonance that remain beyond the reach of machines.
