now having some test searches with excluded ai.

but it must be a glitch.

they'll fix it. they wouldn't be taking in 5 million ai a week and then hide it in the search.

the ai content is what makes the adobe collection look very different and unique compared to the others.

my sales picked up yesterday. 2 real videos, rest ai content

Really curious how my income develops this year with adding 2000 camera video and camera photos

I am still processing ai daily, I have thousands of usable files. But I only prompt a tiny number every day, to keep the practice.

Only real camera material will generate money with ai training and ai royalties. So apart from just sales it is also a good longterm addition for a new revenue channel.

ai content cannot be used for training ai.

Surprised the troll with no visible weekly rank or any success in selling stock is still supplying adobe.

Would have thought he is off to celebrating in "pure agencies" like shutterstock where he can take his rightfully worshipped place among his non ai peers.

Lead the way to enlightenment - leave adobe and close your port in protest....be a hero to the true camera believers, because only when you can push a button do you make art...

Actually, no, it's not a glitch - I just noticed the same thing.

It seems by default a number of search results are EXCLUDING genai - and you have to go explicitly "uncheck" that/rather check "include all" in order to see it...

And yes, I had noticed "ai" contents/sales seemed to be down significantly, and that could explain it... Hmm!

that is fine. the search filter should simply be set to whatever the clients want.

on the adobe stock community forum they say:
"Adobe's Buyers have been requesting this change since the advent of AI in the database. Some have threatened to cancel their Adobe Stock subscriptions because they don't want to have to sift through AI assets to find what they need. I suppose some followed through on that threat. This gives them a quicker way of accessing the Filter Panel. If Buyers are looking specifically for AI assets, they can still quickly find them."

Seems like a poor judgement call then from Adobe to clutter their database with this AI rubbish. And they put so much work in it to get it there. Apparently customers are not keen on it. Ouch...

it seems so ... buyers make the rules .. not adobe or us contributors ...

all my test searches now always included everything, including ai.

customers love buying ai, it would be weird to exclude the latest content by default.

but customers who want to have ai excluded most of the time should have an easy way to do that.

No, by default (at least for USA/Canada) - EVERY single "new" search now excludes "generative ai" by default.
(At least if you start from "stock.adobe.com" and perform a search there).

You have to explicitly enable it to see 'ai' content.

Tested several times, always the same result.

So it seems it resets it every time to exclude gen ai content.

It must be some kind of glitch. It makes no economic sense to take 5 million fresh files a week and then hide them from the world.

Also if customers hated ai, they would have left for ss or getty in the last two years, but all we see is adobe picking up customers and having increased growth.

Doesn�t surprise me. I was reading an article in a broadsheet the other day about complaints that the internet was being buried by poor quality AI imagery. I could also imagine a lot of buyers will become fed up because, let�s face it, while there are some good AI images there is also a lot of rubbish and it must be a PITA wading through all that just to find something good countless times a day (image buyers for advertising agencies etc).

Isn�t that refering to all the ai people generate themselves, not bought on stock sites?

Because that stuff is often horrible and usually connected to fake news propaganda?


Customers need the option to choose with or wirhout ai and it should stick like any orher setting they prefer, like only with model released prople, only editorial, only vertical.

On Adobe the ai in a search looks normsl in a bedt match search.

I was watching a Youtube video the other day (and of course I forgot who I watched now) and they claimed that Youtube is not promoting videos with AI content but rather original human-sourced content. Now that is a simplistic recollection of what was said but I see that if this is indeed the situation and online creators have identified experiencing this, whether that is on Youtube or any other platform, then the demand for AI will naturally fall.

i dont know if it's a new feature but yesterday i logged in my yt account to upload a video and there was a notice on top page saying that from now you can decide if your yt videos will be "given away" for ai training ... it's an option in the account settings ...

Yes I saw that too and your post just reminded to go check in studio settings it is not an opt out arrangement. Turns out it is set to opt in so left the check box blank. Seriously though, no earnings for creators to opt into this?
