So I was looking through other people's AI generated images on Dreamstime.
There are some fantastic images but they are not selling nearly as well as a regular image would.
What are your theories as to why that might be?
Are people turned off by AI images? Have Dreamstime only recently started accepting AI or are they just not promoting them nearly as much?
As I say, I have found some great quality images but they don't seem to be selling anywhere nearly as many as a regular image would.
Would be interested to hear your thoughts.

No, people are (sadly) not turned off by AI images. On Adobe my AI images sell much more than regular photos, even though I have much more real photos than AI photos.
No, they didn't only start accepting AI recently. I thing Dreamstime was even the first agency to officially accept AI images?
I do not know why they don't sell so well on Dreamstime. I indeed don't sell many AI images there - but I don't sell many images on Dreamstime in general, AI or not.
I think they indeed don't get promoted/ranked in the search the same way as on Adobe. I just looked for a random keyword and there was not a single (at least obvious) AI image on the first page of "most relevant" - which is the default search setting there - and also not one with the "best selling" setting. There were a lot of AI images under "latest upload". When I search for the same keyword on Adobe I get a mixture of both AI images and real photos on the first page with the default search setting for "relevant".
Maybe it's really just the fact that Dreamstime doesn't sell as many images as Adobe in general, so new images don't move up to the "most relevant" serach results as fast as they do on Adobe and therefore don't show up in the default search results so much - and therefore don't get sold much.

"Your image was flagged/reported for incorrect usage of the following keywords: gatti gatto seduto. No admin action has been taken yet and the report is pending"
okay,this is really funny,one of my images was reported by "Exyuretrotv" in Dreamstime,it is a photo of 2 cats sitting on a bench and the contested words are "cats" "cat" and "sitting" :D
crazy stuff! :D
However,perhaps it's the fault of the translations,in Dreamstime the translations into Italian have always been terrible!
Sorry,it has nothing to do with the topic but I don't think it's worth starting a discussion about this.

Dreamstime does not allow the use of AI-generated people. Maybe that is the reason they are not selling so much, and other types of AI images do sell, like landscapes, objects, abstract stuff.

Good point

I do not think that's the reason. I only have very few AI generated images of people, but my non-people AI images sell a lot there.

Didn't want to make a new thread for this, but I just got this on dreamstime:
"Your image was flagged/reported for incorrect usage of the following keywords: parakeet quail budgie finch chicken dog."
I do not even know what parakeet or quail or budgie is - It's certainly not part of the keywors of the image and neither is finch, chicken or dog. :o
