The author was working on a landing page for an American startup and needed illustrations, but his stock image budget was depleted. He stumbled upon an AI image generation tool that he had previously tested, and found that it now offered a free, unlimited mode. Using the tool, he was able to generate 23 images in 40 minutes, selecting 7 of them to use for the project. This allowed him to complete the work on time without spending any additional money. The author reflects on how he had become reliant on paid stock image services, which were costing him hundreds of dollars per month, and how the AI tool provided a much more cost-effective solution. He also recommends other AI-powered tools like Cursor and Claude Code to automate processes and save time. The author emphasizes the importance of staying up-to-date with new technologies, as AI-powered tools are becoming more accessible and can offer free, high-quality solutions that were previously unattainable.
