Hello all,
I have a simple question regarding uploading AI images to Adobe Stock:
Is it better to upload them as 'illustrations' or as 'photos'?..
Looking forward to your anwers.
Kind regards

There is an upload guide for AI images on adobe's website.
It depends wether the images are hand drawn illustrations, 3d rendered stuff, etc. or if they contain photo realistic portraits,

Wasn't the rule with AI is that you had to always choose "illustration"?  Did that change recently?

Simple (says it on the Adobe website as well).

If it looks like a camera could have taken a picture, then it's a photo.

If it looks handdrawn, and/or an unnature photo composite, then it is an illustration.

If you try uploading photos as illustrations, they will most likely be auto rejected.

no,it changed a long time ago.

yes,photo if look photorealistic,otherwise illustration.

now all this can also be subjective because often the line between a photo and an illustration is very thin.

a stupid example(like me,I'm a stupid example of a human being ):

a woman in the middle of a fantasy floral composition on a purple background,even if the woman seems real but placed in a fantasy or abstract context I consider it an illustration,while someone might consider it a photo because the woman seems real and the flowers too look real.

I only select photos if the AI ​​image really looks like a real photo,even if the subject seems real in a non-real context it is an illustration for me.

I have uploaded my first 100 Ai photos on Adobe. And I have ticked the box that they have generated using AI. Waiting now for review. See how many will get rejected.

Since it seems to be you ignore what photography is:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photography

I'm surprised that anyone would be confused about what to call AI. AI or anything else, computer generated, can never be a "Photograph". Only a Photograph is a photograph which is recording of light. Everything else is an illustration. (if those are the only two choices)
