Although AI techniques could be used to generate images for years, it wasn't until 2022 that AI image generation became popular. I was surprised by how popular.

Many applications are disqualified because they are already popular, like translation, transcription and facial recognition. Other applications are disqualified because their popularity in 2023 wouldn't be surprising (at least to me), like short video generation.

If there is a lot of ambiguity in how this should resolve and the market has at least 5k in total volume, I'll make a poll and use it's results to resolve.
