ChatGPT is not available in my country. I use other AIs (copy.ai and Bing) to write titles based on keywords. Also, if I get stuck with keywords, I give my list to AI and it can suggest a bunch of new keywords. Then, of course, I have to go through them and pick just a few that make sense.

Just tried Adobe Firefly, but Midjourney is much better.  Firefly generated images aren't on point and not usable for stock photo yet.

Firefly is terrible - but will be better. Adobe is a clever company. Adobe should never have allowed the use of Midjourney, it's unethical.

Are you saying Adobe's Firefly is ethical? They stole our images and threw some pennies at us.

I only use Shutterstock keyword tool. It's helpful. Although they made a couple passive aggressive changes recently.
1. They reverse the keywords order when you copy them, so that the most relevant ones would be in the end. It doesn't matter for Shutterstock, but it matters for some other stocks.
2. They now give you the worst, ugliest pictures from the very bottom. Obviously they were created by beginner stockers. And we get the keywords from them.
Also, I don't like training Shutterstock's search engine by inputing keywords, picking relevant images and picking more relevant keywords.

How is this legal? Next, they will start selling us for organs, because we ticked the box for "adobe can change the contract whenever and however it wants". They know we can't afford lawyers with the peanuts they pay us, so they keep scamming us again and again. It's a perfect crime. But if we all chip in, we can hire a team of good lawyers for all of us. Give it a thought.

And what you wish to demand from adobe?
Our works will be reused and resold billions of times. In the meantime, we won't be able to sell them anymore. $0.021 is hardly a fair price. It should be more like $50.

No issue, except in 8 years not a single file of mine has ever been accepted after a resubmission. No matter if it was declined for quality, or keywords, and no matter how hard I tried to fix those problems. The system recognizes the file and rejects it automatically. The solution is to create a new file and copy paste the image.
