Adobe just sent out a mail for uploading images to training their AI datasets. No key wording or relases needed

Sharing the mail below

We are reaching out to let you know that we�ve enabled a new feature in the Contributor portal to allow some selected contributors to submit content datasets for training Adobe�s AI and machine learning tools. The new portal feature is called Missions. Our goal is to acquire large volumes of images for specific topics which are explained in the Mission�s Content brief and for which we pay a fixed amount as published on the Missions tab.

To allow for an easy submission process, we don�t require keywording or post processing for these datasets. Neither do we require releases, because we are currently only sourcing content that has no recognizable people or property.

Check out the new Missions feature in the contributor portal and we hope this is of interest to you to participate.

If you have questions, please reach out to [email protected].

Interesting. What sort of images do you produce? A very small group of contributors have received this email apparantly.

That is great news!

This is the first step to being paid properly for datasets.

that's been the reality all along - those complaining they weren't paid expect large payments, but with hundreds of millions in the dataset what would expected income/image be?

Haven't they already used everyones data without permission or payment ?

It seems to me that Adobe should reserve compensation (if they ever keep their promise) only for contributors not submitting AI-generated images.
For AI prompters and AI enthusiasts, compensation is already taking place, as they benefit and take advantage of the generation of their images by an AI, that exploits images from other authors.

Someone elsewhere spilled the beans (or at least a few of them - no idea how many different missions there are).

The contributor providing the details thought the compensation wasn't worth it - and I agree.

$40 or $60 for a batch of 500 to 1000 images. Even considering no post-processing and no metadata, that's a pittance! The higher price involves a person's hand or mouth - eating food or handling food. The lower price is still very time consuming to set up - images of flags or bananas on tables or other real life situations.

15 day review time and if approved you get paid. So you shoot 500 images of bananas and they're too brown, too green, not in enough different settings, too large/small a bunch, etc, and then you don't get paid? You can apparently upload the images elsewhere, but these are not  sparsely covered categories. Shutterstock has 1,166,584 photo results for bananas and 3,032,878 for flags

Be interesting to see if they get any/enough takers at these lowball rates.

It seems to me that someone still doesn't want to see reality.
It's like fighitng against windmills.

And now that should become a battle of contributors against each other?

No thanks

I'd agree
