Is stock photo market, human models etc. will become things of the past?

There are some predictions that by 2025, the 3D rendering software market will grow by an incredible $5,63 billion - source https://www.easyrender.com/3d-rendering/the-3d-rendering-software-market-is-growing-fast-heres-why

    Edit:  Instead of this line I copied that line. "one thing is certain – this market will only continue to grow and become even stronger as 3D rendering software will give birth to even more powerful technologies."

    Pessimist - Artificial intelligence bots will write all the possible books and render all the possible renders before humans can get around to them.  

    Optimist - and it will be great because we will be reading and viewing such awesome stuff.

    Seems to me to be an overly-optimistic expectation of what AI will be able to do, whether you opt for either of those two predictions. 

    On the subject of 3D, however, I agree that VR (including 3D) is gaining momentum and that DAZ should be looking in that direction.

    If AI doesn't make us more active in our leisure time (active doesn't necessarily mean physical sport), healthier, safer, not richer but more financially independent, and give us more free time to enjoy it all it will be a total waste and complete failure. I have no use for AI that hounds me to buy product or vote candidate.

    Technology is a two-edged sword - it can make many things a lot easier to accomplish, both the good and the bad things.  The problem is really with ourselves - what we choose to use it for.

    fixed that for you ^^

    Just remember: if all predictions by those wise men and women of the past would have come true, we'd all be living in peace with no poverty and humans living on Mars already... way too many "great technologies" didn't live up to what was predicted about them...

    And also because a significant number of those wise people were more focused on finding ways to use the new technogiy to blow each other up, or to bury competing technologies whether or not they were actually better.  Wise does not necessarily equal "good".

    Never.  If for no other reason than it's a lot cheaper, easier and faster to take pictures of real people than it is to do any kind of rendering under most circumstances.   The proportion of tmes in which CG may be more practical will continue to expand, but there are too many people who want to be the center of attention... and too many advertising executives who want to work with underwear models... for it to ever completely supplant live humans.

    ...the difference between using a photo of a real person and creating your own is the former usually requires something called permission, and possibly payment or even royalties if published or used in a commercial means.

    The only exception is photojournalism.

    Check out any of the real life branded models at say Turbosquid and most if not all will have what is called an "Editorial" rather than "open" licence requiring one to contact the product's creator for permission to used in published works for sale (including use for animations, games, or illustrations in books & such).
