38-year-old entrepreneur closes business due to AI-generated home staging images
Two interior designers in Reims, France, lost clients to AI-generated images, forcing them to close their businesses.
Sophie Donnot, 38, closed her home staging business after six years due to the rise of AI-generated images.
Her clients, mainly real estate agencies, turned to AI-generated images to illustrate their ads, leaving her with no projects for six months.
She is now retraining as a property manager, but her business will be liquidated by the end of the year.
