Why does nobody talk about how AI image generators are making it harder to find real stock photos?
I was chatting with a graphic designer friend last week who said she now spends 20 minutes per search trying to filter out AI generated images from stock sites. She showed me three photos that looked real but had weird hand anatomy and blurry text. Has anyone else noticed this messing with your workflow or am I just being picky?

Is it bad that I've started looking at hands first in every stock photo now, like some kind of weird hand detective? I found a perfect shot for a client last week and it had six fingers on one hand, took me way too long to notice. My brain is basically trained to spot bad anatomy instead of actual good photos at this point.

Honestly I used to roll my eyes at people complaining about this but @brookerobinson you nailed it with the hand detective thing. I was looking for a simple photo of someone holding a coffee cup the other day and found one where the thumb was on the wrong side of the mug. My brain just automatically checks for weird fingers now and it's exhausting. Definitely changed my mind about this being a real problem.
