genAI collections at stock agencies
Jo Ann Snover:
This topic has veered wildly away from tracking genAI collection sizes. I've moved it to the Off Topic section and will discontinue weekly updates on size information
I thought it might be useful to keep track of the size of the AI generated images over time. Here are the numbers I gathered this afternoon (26 Jun 2023)
Adobe Stock AI collection
10,860,621
Dreamtime AI collection
2,937,151
CanStock collection (search for "generative ai")
752,558
Shutterstock collection
646,692
123RF collection
502,652
iStock collection (keyword "AI Generated Image"; not sure what that really means)
167,370
DepositPhotos collection (search for "generative ai")
100,211
3,597 vectors
2,410 photos
2,377 illustrations
205 videos

That is a very, very good idea.
Adobe is leadingcompletely, will be interesting to see how and when other major agencies add ai files.
cobalt:
I had a look at istock and only found normal stock photos that emulate the use of ai software.
I don‘t think they have actual ai generated images.

I can't be sure, obviously, but there are a number with that keyword that have titles claiming they're AI generated. Examples:

https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/epmty-place-for-product-on-podium-or-pedestal-on-bright-modern-kitchen-background-gm1485136872-511196355
These are also on Adobe Stock and tagged as genAI

A lot of the numbers are almost certainly wrong - in Adobe Stock's case I'm only counting what they report as genAI, but there are huge gobs of images not tagged as such but which have the "generative AI" text appended to the title. Plus more that aren't titled or tagged, but which all look AI to me.
It's a Wild West at the moment with no Sheriff :)

Looks like some people are trying to slip ai into istock.
But it is not allowed and they have no ai collection.
Must be difficult to weed that out.
