Another AI image generation platform hit the internet on andrew hewitt eroticism nationalismWednesday (Jan. 25), this time launched by Shutterstock. Now, not only can you find stock photos and illustrations on the site, but you can generate your own.

Working with AI isn't anything particularly new for Shutterstock. Over the past two years, they've partnered with OpenAI, Meta, and LG AI Research to "fuel their generative AI research efforts," Paul Hennessy, the chief executive officer at Shutterstock, said in a press release. It's available in multiple languages and comes included with paid customers' packages. 

"Our easy-to-use generative platform will transform the way people tell their stories — you no longer have to be a design expert or have access to a creative team to create exceptional work," Hennessy said. "Our tools are built on an ethical approach and on a library of assets that represents the diverse world we live in, and we ensure that the artists whose works contributed to the development of these models are recognized and rewarded."

It can be a fun tool to play around with, but keep in mind that even though Shutterstock promises that their tools are "built on an ethical approach and on a library of assets that represents the diverse world we live in," and that "the artists whose works contributed to the development of these models are recognized and rewarded," using AI to find art is still controversial.
