Adobe Stock has a Discord server for contributors and it now includes a "Quality-Control" channel where contributors can post links to images that should not have been accepted in the first place, and these will be passed on to moderation for re-consideration.

Jo Ann Snover · « **Reply #76 on:** June 29, 2023, 14:30 »

That's a nice idea, and I have thousands of examples I could offer, but I'm not allowed to post in that channel. I'm not level 10 (whatever level of activity that means) so I can't participate.

"The rules:
1) We post the URL to the image, not to a portfolio. Links to a portfolio where we need to find the image will be removed, it's not helping us 🙂
2) We explain the issue we see (auto traced vector; weird hands, etc.).
3) Not everyone can participate on this channel. You need to be an Active Member (having reached level 10) or a Creative Challenge Winner (perks of winning).
4) Slowmodeis active, so this won't get flooded. Be patient, or try to put several links on the same message.
5) We will remove messages about quality issues on other chat channels.
6) If this becomes a space for vendettas or personal attacks, people engaging on those behaviors will be on time out for 48 hours.
7) I reserve the right to change/adapt/modify or add new rules here, that won't be applied retroactively."

I get that they don't want spam or nuisance posts, but requiring you be active in their Discord channel versus licensing lots of stock images seems like the wrong way to go about it...

Is this work well paid by Adobe?

When will "Quality-Control" channel where contributors could inspect the bin where real photographies should not have been placed in the first place, and these would be passed on to moderation for re-consideration?

Facebook spammed but interesting.

Is that even allowed? GPT to Midjourney to upscale content and upload?

I cant find the guys portfolio but interested to see how much of his stuff is flagged as AI and how much is normal stock.

Yes, why should it not be allowed?

gnirtS · « **Reply #82 on:** July 05, 2023, 02:59 »

That depends if its flagged as AI content or not.

If not, its not allowed.

The collection is now over 11 million gen AI images (there are more but they're not marked. I can't know which the 11 millionth is, but how about this one of a waterslide no one should ever go on:

Thank you. I've noticed a few other images that have been "disappeared". I have watermarked previews or I'd think I had gone crazy

The problem continues though as recent approvals are still laden with "oops" images at a rapid rate. Adobe has to get a handle on this on the inspection side IMO.

And the collection (of acknowledged genAI content) is now over the 11.5million threshold - 11,507,885

July 12 it is 11,911,724

With the same pace, I predict AI content to cross 25-30 million mark by the end of this year.

When firefly opens for commercial stock use, it will accelerate drastically. Maybe even 100 million in 2 years.

I know a lot of producers holding back because of the legal issues but they will all jump into firefly once it is ready for commercial stock.

Other agencies will probably also offer properly licensed ai software. The Getty/Nvidia partnership could be interesting.

Wouldn't be surprised if Getty only allows content from their own ai.

Its what image farms are desperate for - can completely eliminate the slow process of actually obtaining images and now its just a question of computing power and staff to do it.

Literally goes into a data processing as opposed to image creation task.

Artist · « **Reply #89 on:** July 12, 2023, 02:37 »

Almost a month now since the initial message and the data is touching 12 million.

Jo Ann Snover · « **Reply #90 on:** July 13, 2023, 10:20 »

One month after the OP, the Adobe Stock genAI collection (tagged; there are more that are not) is over 12 million - 12,004,534

We can celebrate by making a yummy fruit smoothie - although I'm really afraid of this mixer...

Whole fruits might be equally scary (same series from today's approvals)

I'll spare you the missing chair legs, stairs into the ceiling, chimps with extra arms, bizarre calculators/tools/planners etc.

After looking at recent acceptances I am in need of strong medicine - might this pill be big enough??

Oral medication has that prefix because it isnt the only route in. Some of those pills and many of the pills on the similar images offered have a distinctly rectal whiff about them.

Well this explains a lot. So I always look for niche areas I can exploit. This is one that I'll leave to others.
Testicular Cancer is on the rise and this is the offering for it with A.I. One image ...
Aside from the obvious complete lack of medical accuracy ... this is the description.

A.i. images are not reviewed. End of story and please don't abuse it ... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ... I'm sure it won't be abused.

The genAI collection is now 12,364,430 and growing. Looking at this morning's approvals, it continues to include images obviously sub-standard. Here are just a few to illustrate:

The title of this one is concept. The keywords give no useful clues:
cabinet office drawer file business computer furniture storage metal datum filing document file archive three-dimensional case box illustration folder technology icon document archive server equipment

Wonky hands are still an issue

A favorite from yesterday: "beautiful nature wallpaper generated by AI tool". The keywords are so bad that anyone searching for hammock palm trees won't find it

One more from today - lobster is near and dear to my heart and this "lobster roll" is inedible! Those objects are not lobster claws or tails; even if they were, you need to take the shell off

Highroller in Portland does the best lobster rolls anywhere (just in case someone wants to compare the real thing with this imposter Adobe Stock has accepted

them's fightin' words & you're cracking open a new debate...

My wife grew up on Mount Desert Island, Maine, & one our favorites, among several others, was
Thurston's Lobster Pound in Bernard

of course, we didnt go out too often as her brother was a lobsterman

Jo Ann Snover · « **Reply #95 on:** July 19, 2023, 13:29 »

Highroller is very recent (2015, I think). For boiled lobster I'd go for Chauncey Creek in Maine - given that I don't have any family members considerate enough to be in the lobster business.

And bear in mind I'm a first generation immigrant, so what do I know?

All agencies should clearly mention a warning just like shuttertsock do with their AI content.
