The short answer is that the inspection process at Adobe is not working well - overwhelmed or understaffed or automated with insufficient human supervision?

Both these contributors just have a handful of images and it's obviously the same file as there's a small white spot on the hand in both of them.

Yesterday I checked the new genAI approvals and there were the Apple logos, extra limbs, stairs into walls/ceilings - all the known flaws of genAI that should have been rejected. I've stopped posting about these bloopers because it's pointless, but little has changed. But there are now over 40 million

Checking for duplicates - and the money image is a duplicate even though the newer one is scaled down - should be a no brainer

Just starting a topic to draw your attention to this.

When you search something like "businessman hands dollars" both of these images appear on first page as relevant. However, they were submitted by two different contributors, one as a photo and the other one designated as AI image. The AI image has lower ID number, so it was uploaded earlier.

Doesn't look like AI to me? Maybe the knuckle, but does AI do US dollars that well? AYuva 22 images, Hamdan 6.

Look at this? Here's another one? 2021

Here is the same image used in an article from 2019, so definately not AI generated: https://medium.com/top-app-development-companies/is-any-specific-way-to-increase-the-profit-margin-in-mobile-app-development-d76abcbc7224


I think this Hamdan is just a thief who can't even be bothered to actually generate images with AI, just steals real photos from other people.
The other images in his port are stolen as well.

I will say, that from Adobe, similar doesn't always mean "the same" it could be too many similar style or subject images. You'll have to figure that out yourself. "Common subjects like flowers, pets, sunsets, and food are already heavily represented on Adobe Stock. New submissions for these categories are approved if they stand out and show the common subjects in unique ways."

I agree with that. I had my "similar" or in a rather free interpretation "not as good as others we already have..." rejections before. And I am OK with that. But I guess nobody likes seeing these pass by the reviewers.

Hi,

Looking for such cases I came across someone who stole good parts of my portfolio.
Do you have any idea where to report it? I quickly searched for something, but found nothing concrete.
Thanks!

So Adobe Stock's image control and thief tracking is very poor.

 



Thank you!

And if you search Adobe using the similar image function, you get another one, even older submission by CuteArt

CuteArt's one is not older than the one on iStock. Comparing the file number to my Adobe files, I would say it was uploaded around late Dec 2022 - early Jan 2023.

New contributors should experience extra checks for the first nnn uploads - that would avoid these portfolios of ripoff images

I agree with you on this.

Regarding the dollar image, iI you check alexandermils on Adobe and CreativePhotoCorner on iStock, I believe it is the same contributor, just using different names.
