Why does Adobe think my uploaded PNG file is ai generated? It is not, it was made in Inkscape. It's sitting in review with a message reminding me to select the generated with ai checkbox

Are you referencing the yellow bar in the contributor portal that says "If you submit Generative AI images you must select the checkbox"?

If so, that isn't targeted to you specifically and is not triggered by your PNG file. That message is visible to all contributors upon upload, regardless of asset type.

Thanks for the question,

Mat

Hi everyone,

I'm announcing a big update in the workflow for those of you submitting generative AI images to Adobe Stock. With the successful launch of the search filter and generative AI display in the customer facing site, we are no longer requiring you add "generative AI" to your title or keywords. Effective immediately, you can stop adding "generative AI" to your title and keywords if you prefer.

It is VERY important you continue to select the "created using generative AI tools" checkbox and that you submit your generative AI content as an illustration. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Mat Hayward
But how will you filter a portfolio for AI images in the future if the keywords no longer have to be added? The option to browse portfolios based on search criteria is, in my opinion, long overdue and i cannot understand why this has not been possible for a long time.

Yes the yellow bar is what I was referring to, but it was only the PNG image that had the ai generative checkbox option when I was submitting the file, the other files I submitted before and since didn't have that checkbox available. I'm guessing it's because they were vector files?

Do you realize that no one of AI uploaders is forced to select that option ?
Do you realize  that yellow bar in upload section does nothing to force them to upload AI content as they are pleased to ?
Do you realize that AI content is uploaded even as photos ? And there is nothing to stop AI uploaders to do so ?
Do you realize that AI content is uploaded even as vectors ? And there is nothing to stop AI uploaders to do so ?
Simply look at new photos or vectors in collection, you'll see what I am talking about.
Do you realize that there is various groups on social media that are posting, on daily bases, basically content with how to F**K Adobe  and submit AI content? 
Do you realize how much it is demotivational for your contributors to wait 28 days for moderation and we all know that cause of that is AI pandemic ?
Do you realize how much it is demotivational for your photo/vector/illustration contributors to see that blurry AI "art" with deformed faces and hands are accepted ?
Do you realize how much your AI acceptance with no quality standards harm your photo/vector/illustration contributors ?

I posted this in response on FB, not aimed at Matt but AS in general.

The various FB groups along with other forums are full of people doing this.  Actually asking for help in how many AIs they can submit before account gets flagged, what happens if they don't tick the boxes and so on.

There are verifiably, a large number of people, bulk submitting AI to the main collection without labelling.  And its getting accepted.

There's no detection and no sanction for this.

(Yes SS and others have the same problem).

Agree - the problem is widespread, and for those who are trying to play by the rules, it's a kick in the teeth and further crashing our earnings.

At first, I thought 'how can the reviewers not see that this is AI?', but now it's getting harder and harder to tell. By allowing it, the flood gates have opened to a lot of people who are willing to cheat the system for short term gain.

Put a REPORT button on your pages, so that anything suspicious can be flagged and checked,  before the problem gets totally out of hand.

Maybe also do a search in the database for Generative AI, then exclude 'Generative AI' from the results? There are over 140k images that mostly shouldn't be there, which can't be good for your customers and is certainly not good for the rest of us who are trying to play by the rules.

And that's just people who forgot to tick a box.

The genie is out of the bottle, and we can't put it back, but we do have a responsibility to figure out how to control it.

if you work according to the rules and are honest, then you have a hard time competing with those who do not follow the rules. Nonsense.

Hello, I want to know when the file review will be normalized, since I have a couple that have been uploaded for 25 days.
Thank you!

More and more AI content is added to a vector collection ? ???????
How it is possible ? ?????



And Adobe still doesn't punish fraudulent uploaders.

While I agree and that's a good idea, they should also have a report button for stolen images. (I mean all agencies not just targeting Adobe) But as much as we'd like to see a report button, I think we have seen over the years how the agencies don't care and don't respond and don't police these things on their own.

We'd like it, they don't care. That's why we won't see a report button or any agency that cares enough to look for stolen images or AI that's not properly tagged. It cost money and the task of finding and removing is complex and time consuming. If they started with 2020 and reviewed every image since then for AI that's not tagged as AI?

There is a lot of newly-accepted work that seems (to me) to be clearly AI generated and yet isn't marked as such - so buyers who choose to turn on the "Exclude Generative AI" filter will still see this work in search results.

I think it's fundamental to mark AI generated work in the Adobe Stock collection as such - I'd like to see an overlay similar to the "EDITORIAL ONLY"

Some of the portfolios I've looked at over the last couple of days have a mix of tagged and untagged work, perhaps suggesting they just forgot to check the box. In that case it seems imperative that the review process fix this - build a tool to detect the AI content.

For the portfolios that don't have any tagged images it suggests either that they don't understand what they need to do, or that they hope to get the widest exposure for their work and don't want the tag for that reason. There are a lot of new contributors who only have AI submissions; perhaps some extra scrutiny for the first 100-200 images (like with stolen work detection) would help fix this problem.

Some items have "Generative AI" in the title, so even though they're not tagged, they'd be easy to find. There are ~200 like that in one of the "Premium" portfolios (which does have other AI content correctly tagged).

I have kept lots of notes on the items I've found. I'm happy to share with Adobe if they want to fix this problem and properly tag the AI generated content in their (growing) collection.

On a related subject, I found a portfolio with many (I stopped making my list when my brain fried) pairs of identical images. Some were triplets!!! The prompt text was slightly different on the third, but the image was identical

The portfolio is awash in near-identical items, but these pairs/triplets are the same image with two/three different IDs.

Inspection of generative AI content is in need of some attention

Realistically most are fully aware of what they SHOULD be doing but also aware the system doesn't enforce and won't catch them so they're knowingly generating vast numbers of AI images, submitting them as non-AI to pad their portfolio.

Places like Pakistan on the FB groups have a *lot* of people openly admitting to doing this.
On SS for example, get approved with a handful of mobile phone photos of stuff in your garden, next day 200 AI coffee cups appear.

AI has allowed people who previously couldn't generate much content to suddenly massively bulk up.


How to fix it?  Its hard and as AI gets better it gets harder.  More pattern recognition on upload profiles maybe.

I do like the idea of a "report" button which with the right usage limits and constraints could trigger a search for similars and if suspicious, flag up for a human to check.

And what does MatHayward have to do with it? Does he decide whether or not to accept AI content?
What are you so afraid of, competition? About 10 years ago, stock site databases began to grow, and everyone was screaming that everyone would go bankrupt, that income would fall, etc. Outside the window is 2023, and bases of several tens of millions of content do not greatly affect the income of authors.
At the expense of AI content, which one of the authors does not mark as AI content, well, here on the forum I have already discussed this issue, programs that create AI add this information to the file metadata. As a result, such an author will be banned from Adobe. Not to mention the fact that there will not be many such authors initially.
In short, do not hysteria.  :P ;D

Psychiatrization is an easily accessible method for people who do not have the strength of arguments.
You haven't proven anything in your post. Btw, it seems to be you shoot videos for stock, not photography or illustrations.

I wrote everything correctly, there is definitely hysteria.
Well, I also sell photos, too, a little. And what's stopping you from making videos too?  :)

You need to ask normal and correct questions, and not write a stream of hysteria. Many of the questions are completely stupid.

And I do not think they are stupid at all, but real concern Adobe needs to address.

What is the problem with adobe? - Has the duration of the check increased. Besides Adobe, there are many stock agencies that sell AI content.
