No elephants: Breakthroughs in image generation

I searched Shutterstock for squirrels doing math. Here's a squirrel doing math: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-vector/pensive-squirrel-d...

Yes, it's obvious that if your use case is obscure enough, or you need a ton of unique images, they won't work, which is why I said "largely a solved problem".

But image generation these days is simply image search anyway. Wether or not the image existed before is almost irrelevant.

I've never searched for an image from a stock vendor the way one would prompt a generative model. The stock vendor's metadata/keyword about its images were never that in-depth.

Also, you're implying that a generative system is so fast that it could create so many variations of your prompt to fill in the search results page in an acceptable time. That's a joke
