Thanks for feedback and constructive comments. AI generated text content is identified by most of the search engines now. It is being pushed to bottom. ...

i don't think  there's any evidence AI can distinguish text& tags, esp'ly the latter after a bit of editing.

and i don't see why agencies would want to check or decline -- in general AI text is better than what one can do, with more conceptual ideas and details of background, etc., so they'd be getting better described images overall performance for buyers

sure, some individuals can produce better results but at the cost of increased time

Sent you a PM with Samples. The rate is absolutely low. 33 images will make $1. A minute per image - 33 minutes for $1. I expect request for revisions.

thanks - the results were impressive - i've replied with a more detailed response

It wasn't clear -- Do you add the metadata to the images along with the CSV? ( it's unlikely, given you may be working from thumbnails)

how do you determine location and other details (names of churches, mountains, statues, ruins, ...) that aren't obvious in a description. other services use AI which can often determine, city, etc. 

i pay $.03 /image for that service. can you compete?

can you provide examples of descriptions & keywords you've produced (don't need the images)

examples for results, from images only - title, description, tags:

with all due respect,but anyone who produce and uploads 100 AI contents in a single hour cannot be defined as an "artist" in my opinion.
....

i commonly upload 100+ in an hour - but that reflects a week or more of intermittent work - post, captioning, etc.  (i've been spending less time on ms in the last 5+ years and now have a backlog of over 50K images - mostly dupes or similars which will eventually be weeded out)

now 100 in the same series is a different bird

here is the percentage increase of the number of the sales in my first 2 quarters between 2023 and 2024:

1Q +36,2%
2Q +18,8%

I wanted to have an even broader vision,and I calculated the percentage of annual growth,even if I had always calculated the differences between years,I had never calculated the percentages in detail.

here are the growth percentages in the number of sales since 2019:

2019-2020 +60,9%
2020-2021 +62,12%
2021-2022 +22,8%
2022-2023 +110,6%
2023-2024 +27,5% (half-year)

...

so as i said,in my opinion,Adobe Stock can be a gold mine if you start at 30 years or maximum 40 years,because you still have more time,over 40 years instead,it depends on what you are able to produce,and in what quantity,because the time left to enjoy the fruits of labor is less,you simply have less time,it's not negativity,it's simply a fact,reality.

so in conclusion,as far as I'm concerned,if I can have an annual growth in number of sales of at least 80% every year for the next 4 years,in 4 years I can start to have a good income from Adobe Stock,if instead the this year's growth percentage or some of the next 4 years will be less than 80% I don't think I can continue,not actively,maybe some uploads if I feel like it a couple of times a year....

those goals are wildly out of reality - few sales/incomes in any field achieve even 30% over 4 years, not to even think of 80% - just look at all the old-timers who report significant decreases over the last 10 yeas.

and projecting 30 or 40years is a fool's errand - 30 years ago there was barely an internet - 40 years ago we had 300 baud modems. 

and counting # of sales rather than total income may look nice but i'd rather have 10 sales at $1 than 50 sales at $.10

...
What if Adobe is using AI to assign "review" token that determines place in review queue?  That token could be composite of technical aspects -i.e.  Histogram to left/right = image might be under/over exposed --> negative value to the token.   Or too much noise --> negative value to the token.   Brief run through contributor port - similar?  Negative value to the token.  Etc etc. Maybe even contributor rank comes into play.  Each week that passes would add some positive value to the token to push it higher in the queue, but as fresh content keeps arriving, anything with bad initial rating needs to wait a long time to swim out - or even never swims out - as newer content keeps getting inserted above....

very interesting & reasonable idea, but it doesn't track with my review times - i have over 300 images waiting for 2 month s, then about 150 in last 2 weeks - nothing in between. subjects extremely variable

Should we expect firefly bonus this year?

I want a protection for crawling by firefly and all other crawlers and not a tiny bonus  . i see copies of my best seller renderings all over Adobe, even same title and keywords. just read about reddit not allows crawling anymore, by google only. dont know, just want let my bad feeling about this topic out 

you're confusing 2 issues

1 - theft of images by individuals

2 - scraping for AI training - and AS lets you opt out having your images used for training

where can i opt out?

they are not downlaoded and re-uploaded. they are 90% similar, as good as the AI can re-create these images

opt out policies are clearly defined by adobe - do your research before making false claims &  complaining about something YOU are responsible for

how did you decide they were '90% similar' - very strange claim

how do you know those 'copied' images are done by ai? why not simple editing by those who copy?  it's nigh impossible for AI to produce something you created - unless you're creating extremely generic image

post your images & the copies to prove your case, otherwise it's just more anti-AI whinging

where's the beef?

Don't worry, I have the little troll on ignore, I only see the posts if someone quotes them.

I didn�t know about that awesome feature! Thanks for pointing that out. I can now ignore idiots and focus on reading posts from intelligent and well-mannered individuals. This will make my time spent on this forum a lot more enjoyable.

back in the BBS modem days (1980s), we added a twit filter to our Stonehenge program - it let the twit continue to post, but it wouldn't actually display anything except to them, leaving them wonder why no one was responding to their comments
