Vent: I checked the AI art tags on a stock site and 4,000 images popped up from ONE uploader
I was looking for reference photos last Tuesday for a mural job in Columbus and typed 'hands holding tools' into a stock site. The top result was 4,000 images all from the same account, all AI, all with that weird waxy look. Meanwhile the real photographer who shot the exact pose I needed was buried on page 9 with 12 downloads. That uploader is not drawing anything, he is just running prompts all day and drowning out people who actually set up lights and hired models. Is there any site left that filters this stuff out, or do I just give up and shoot everything myself?
