How difficult can it be to write an algorithm with a few adjustable parameters so the queue is always at maximum two weeks or whatever their desired target range is depending on the content?

I think the problem is that they are just overwhelmed with AI content and no shuffling around of resources between different queues is going to solve this problem. They very likely would have to expand the available resources.

They may be reluctant to do this, because they do not know how long the current influx will remain at this level. Or perhaps they are working on tools that allow the help of AI with reviewing AI content (and possibly other content).

My guess is that that AI influx will increase as tools are more widely available and generate "accurate" content more quickly.

My guess is that the AI influx will decrease as the number of images increases and each "contributor" receives less and less for their contributions. A few will keep going but if they get paid a few $ for many hours of generating, uploading and tagging most will quit. The novelty of AI is going to wear off and there will be a small steady need for these images, not a huge glut of downloads. Also it's pretty easy to pay for a midjourney sub and ask your creative team to generate 10 images of a duck with sunglasses on, I'm not certain people will keep paying for stock images they can easily generate themselves. It's much harder and more expensive to create photos so those I think will keep selling to a certain extent.

To be totally honest, I was expecting Mat's opinion and few words about prioritizing Ai content above all other content and all non Ai contributors.

Mat probably knows a bit more, but there is only so much he is allowed to reveal on a public forum. It's already a miracle there is "Mat", because no other agency has one.

The only other reason right now I can think of is that reviews are done somewhere in Eastern Europe (consistent with acceptance / rejection time of day). July / Aug is heavy vacation time over there and maybe simply there is "nobody in the office". I still stick with "conspiracy theory" that AI pushes all non exceptional content to bottom of the pit, where it will eventually get rejected for "quality reasons"

I submitted an illustration I have been working on for the last week or so. Various layers and other stills that I bring together to make a finished piece of work.

Anyway, within 24 hours file was declined as "Missing Generative AI Tag". I'm sort of hoping this doesn't become a thing as I've had to spend some time submitting a case to them to say it's not and has no AI imagery at all. I followed the case up via email submitting screen shots etc but this all adds to the time taking for this to be resolved.

My concern is the time it will take to solve and whether it will be followed by a 5-6 weeks wait to be reviewed. It's already tricky to time, plan imagery to hit certain events as it is. I've told them I never supply AI and more than happy to provide raw files etc to prove no AI involved.

I know it will be resolved, just a little frustrating that there is another layer of work / delay to the creative process. Hopefully Matt or a colleague will pick it up soon.

It doesn't matter if reviews are done somewhere in Eastern Europe or anywhere else.
Reviews are done , with or without heavy vacation time, but only for Ai generated uploads.
What I was talking about is the fact that Ai reviews are prioritized and rest of us are simply NOT PRIORITY for Adobe.

I know it’s been happening to other folks for a while, but I’ve now got images that have passed eight weeks. Sigh.

I have stoped uploading to Adobe, doesn't make sense anymore.
Maybe their review team will recover, maybe not.

Adobe reviews are not done in-house. They outsource them. https://mod381.rs

It would be good if Mat could explain to use why the reviews are taking so long.

These guys are from Novi Sad, Serbia. How do you know Adobe outsources to them?

Regardless, direction to prioritize one type of content and neglect other is direction from Adobe, not their own choice

Well I could be wrong. But they have a testimonial on their homepage from Adobe Stock's Director of Creative Operations thanking them for their services and partnership.

That still doesn't make them decision makers on what to prioritize subject.

It sure would, but there is only so much he is allowed to post in a public forum as it might reveal certain proprietary issues / strategic directions.

Yes, I am seeing it now too. So it's likely true. Lots of former and probably current stock contributors on their staff.

Day 45 of not reviewing non Ai illustrations.

Do they even accept anything else except AI or they just ultra giga mega prioritize Ai content ?

cobalt · « **Reply #90 on:** August 29, 2024, 06:49 »

If they process 2.5 million files a MONTH, they cannot be the only partner Adobe uses.

The large agencies usually accept around 2 million files a week and probably decline the same amount.

Adobe probably has several partners in different parts of the world and for different time zones.

The pile grows higher and higher.

zeljkok · « **Reply #92 on:** August 29, 2024, 16:44 »

If the pile is indeed growing and not been automatically transferred into some sort of trash can by AI, it must be huge pile by now as it appears nobody is getting anything reviewed. It is really interesting how is this going to play out. Bring out the popcorn

Madede · « **Reply #93 on:** August 30, 2024, 03:39 »

It seems that non Ai pile wasn't even touched.

DaLiu · « **Reply #94 on:** August 30, 2024, 07:00 »

I have a batch of 400 files uploaded 18 days ago, 30 files approved within 3 days, another 290 approved yesterday, im left with 80 files in the queue for approval, all non AI pictures.

Could be they have an algorithm whereby if a contributor has a large queue there is some priority given?

there is probably an algorithm based on sales success. at least that would make sense. if your content sells really well and also really quickly, the software should push your files higher in the queue.

if you are just a normal stock producer where things sell more slowly, then no push.

and then there is probably also a list of "needed" content, if the software finds it, it pushes that higher.

again, no idea if it works that way, but adobe is a gigantic software company, i am sure they have optimised the queue for the benefit of their sales.

I seriously doubt that. At this point we can only guess, develop various (conspiracy) theories, but only they know real reason. It could even be completely random every once awhile, which would be ultimate irony.

Main point for me: Adobe review time is completely unacceptable. It is not even "just" 8 weeks as many here reported much longer waits. Lack of transparency is another issue; nobody likes to be in the dark. They are doing great thing with representative (Mat) trying to address contributor issues; why not come forward and explain what is happening with reviews.

Before the upload limit is imposed, the units that review real photos and AI photos should be separate. Right now, people who don't even have any visual knowledge can create AI images with a text. I guess a small percentage of the AI images submitted are accepted. I'm sure those who produce AI on this forum are doing very well. But I'm very curious how many images of someone who has a screenshot of "67k AI images waiting to be reviewed" that I saw on a different forum last week will be accepted.

Just as video, illustration, vector are different, real photos and AI photos should now be categorized separately. and reviewed separately. This way, real photos won't have to wait in the review queue for such a long time.

seems too many here, esp'ly the anti-AI folk resort to baseless personal attacks on other artists as "non-professional" or lacking in traits, training & knowledge that make someone a 'real ' artist without actually knowing the artist or their background

to the buyer (the only one who really counts), there's no difference between AI & camera-generated images (same argument used in the early days that digital couldn't match 'real photos.

then there are the conspiracy false claims that companies are not reviewing their more deserving images. nonsense! agencies choose what will sell, not whether the image should hang in an art gallery.

shift happens - stop whinging & produce what sellsl today, not last week.
