It is beyond belief that this image was recently approved - this content puts Adobe Stock and anyone licensing this image at risk. Getty is notoriously tough with misuse of its images.
I first noticed this item because of the comically gigantic laptop in front of the mannequin-like worker

Seeing photos on the huge screen - and, surprisingly for genAI, readable text - set off warning sirens in my brain (I've been editing stock images for way too long!)
A google search found the two articles and the image credits. Both are credited to Getty - senior couple (https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/retirement-fitness-and-walking-with-dog-and-couple-in-neighborhood-park-for-relax-gm1445417525-483832678) and laptop hands (https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/photo/man-working-online-at-home-on-his-laptop-computer-royalty-free-image/1460688109)

The contributor has several other laptop images with photos on the screen (https://stock.adobe.com/search?creator_id=211214115&filters%5Bcontent_type%3Aphoto%5D=1&filters%5Bcontent_type%3Aillustration%5D=1&filters%5Bcontent_type%3Azip_vector%5D=1&filters%5Bcontent_type%3Avideo%5D=1&filters%5Bcontent_type%3Atemplate%5D=1&filters%5Bcontent_type%3A3d%5D=1&filters%5Bfetch_excluded_assets%5D=1&filters%5Bcontent_type%3Aimage%5D=1&order=relevance&safe_search=1&k=laptop+office+social+media&limit=100&search_page=1&search_type=usertyped&acp=&aco=laptop+office+social+media&get_facets=0), but they're harder to track down (so I didn't). I expect none of them are licensed.
If anyone who can post on the Discord thread about "oops" genAI images wants to post this - or a link to this thread - go ahead.
I realize it's a bit childish of me, but I am so angry to see any pretense at reviewing standards tossed aside in the frenzy of AI madness. I defy anyone to convince me that a non-AI image like this could ever get approved without property releases for the on-screen content. I've had to provide releases for use of my own images (on walls and screens) so many times...

Wow! I can post that one on the Adobe Stock Discord in Quality Control :)
EDIT: I have done so.

How is this comically oversized. I’m writing this on a 37” laptop as we speak.

Thank you

Me too, I don't understand why rules suddenly don't apply for AI images.

That is really crazy.
And it should be obvious to an human inspector.
Maybe they are training a lot of new people? But then, is there no supervision?
-
As I was falling asleep last night I realized how recent those two articles (in the laptop screen) were. I just checked the dates - July 22 and 23. Yesterday, July 28th, was when I saw the giant laptop image.
That image was less than a week in the queue.
Haven’t those of you uploading been waiting 3-4 weeks?
If I was looking for evidence of a two-tier system, this would be very convincing…
-
And I forgot to mention that the CNN logo should not have been allowed either
-
At least her fingers look normal...
-
If those are indeed recent news articles - how did they get into the ai database for training? I thought the ais use content that is at least a year old?
Or can they now read live online content and integrate that?

The screen display is clearly NOT AI generated.

I expect Mat Hayward to come up with an answer.

I agree with Ann - but the persons port is amazing. Seems that it's the end of photography. But the again - to create AI-images you have to have real photographs to use as modelling ...?

That will be because AI can now be submitted as Photos so long as it looks like it could have been taken by a camera, and people are reporting 1 week review times in the Photos queue.

My non-AI photos take nearly 4 weeks before getting accepted. Oddly, images that don't pass their QC are rejected within about a week. It's been like this for a while now.
From what I read, AI images take much less review time and QC is virtually non-existent.

Where did you read that? My AI images are waiting to be reviewed since forever. I do not even know how many weeks, because after 4 weeks in the review queue it only says they wre submitted "last month". Ai images submitted as photos (in opposite to illustrations, which was a requirement until like a week ago) seem to be reviewed faster for now, but I am sure now that everyone started submitting Ai images as photos instead of illustrations the review time will only get longer and longer till they will also have a review time of several weeks.
My real photos get reviewed in less than a week. Maybe 4-5 days.

Oh man, how huge that laptop is compared to that woman is hilarious.
-
Interesting, It looks like a composite (i.e., guy did a screen grab & "pasted" it on the laptop).
I'd say it was an error (on the review) - they wouldn't be expecting people to create 'composite' images like that...

At least her fingers look normal...
Am i the only one bothered by the shiny, plastic face ? Looks like a tailors dummy.
Or v1.0 Westworld.

This reminds me of a 3D rendering from 2008, done in Maya and Mental Ray. Fake looking skin and oversized hands... not much has changed in 15 years.

Agree. Is a print screen pasted there, so the author knew what he/she was doing.

The image has been taken down now.
