📷 The licensed image genie arrives

It's a match made in digital heaven.

Shutterstock updated its Creative Flow online design tool with Dall-E 2. This means you can use text prompts to generate images that are immediately ready for licensing.

Creative Flow is now like a licensing genie that grants all your image-making wishes with the click of a button. Be warned: We may use it for this newsletter.

Shutterstock's AI-powered image service is a game-changer in terms of efficiency and convenience. It also makes the company an AI stock image trailblazer, boldly forging ahead while its competitor Getty Images is embroiled in an AI art lawsuit over unauthorized image use.

While Getty suits up to fight legal battles, Shutterstock is striking deals with LG AI Research, Meta, and OpenAI to license images and train AI image models.

The best part? The partnerships mean more generative tools for the AI community.

Shutterstock is playing smart, not hard.

The company is also positioning itself as the "ethical" player by promising to pay the artists whose images are used for AI training. We'll know soon enough if the payouts can make artists whole.

Licensing is a strong differentiator, but it may not set Shutterstock apart in the long run. Will the AI image creation battle be won on best selection, pricing, and user experience, or will the playing field be completely leveled as the market becomes commoditized?
