Got this in my email: We would like to inform you, the Contributor Members, that we have decided to discontinue the acceptance and sale of AI-generated content (hereinafter referred to as "AI-generated content") on our PIXTA service.

Finally some good news. Pixta is a minor player, but let's hope other agencies will follow.
Enough with the AI slop flooding the market.

Maybe a sign that selling AI content isn't as profitable as it would seem? Businesses don't just drop things, unless there's an expense vs financial reward factor.

Of course, maybe there's some legal problem. My own view is, most of the AI images, are just crap and have obvious flaws. Not saying that some people don't make nice work and do nice things. But like spam images, anyone with an AI account can generate a large number of bad images, and then be taking up space and wasting time for PIXTA.

I'd be happy if more places, decided that leave the AI to the people who want to make their own. AI stock images are mostly, just a flood of junk images.

Great - yes lets do hope the bigger agencies follow suit. 


I don't contribute to Pixta are they any good?

Yes, profitability and a request for authentic content. This is from the same email they sent:

In response to this situation, we have carefully re-analyzed what kind of content is in demand from our users, and currently, there is a greater demand than ever for content shot, drawn and produced by our Contributor Members themselves, rather than content generated by AI. Furthermore, considering that the cost needed to maintain the AI-generated content is much increasing and that it would force us to raise the sales prices of each piece of the content, we have decided to discontinue handling AI-generated content.

Not really, definitely a low earning agency for me. But I have an illustrations only portfolio, maybe with photos it's a different story.

Very, very, very low earners

Thanks all, I've made an application anyway but not expecting high earnings.

Part of the email also said this

good news

Open_   yes buyers preferring people made content is very encouraging and also cost of managing mass uploads of AI. 

Well done Human Race.
