Anything taken before 2023, yes. I had a former colleague who’s boyfriend was a photographer, and he took a shitload of pictures of here in various random business suites and situations, close-ups of her holding pens, mugs, papers, glasses, etc. etc. and published them on some stock portals. They don’t pay a whole lot of royalties for multiple use images, but every now and then someone buys an exclusive license, meaning the picture is afterwards removed from the stock archive, and that pays several hundred bucks.

So it’s really a numbers game, the more photos you dump on the platform, the better.

Anything published since last year has at least a chance to be AI generated. Should be tagged as such, but well. Should.
