Image generation
Image-generation models (Midjourney, DALL·E, Flux and others) turn a description into a visual. Quality has exploded, shaking up photography and illustration.
Video generation
Generative video (Sora, Veo and rivals) is clearing fast milestones: short clips, animation, effects. Still imperfect, it's improving quickly and raising major authenticity questions.
Stakes: rights and authenticity
Training-data copyright, deepfakes, content labeling: AI visual creation is also a legal and ethical battleground.
