Adobe Stock / Re: Generative AI vector loophole?
« on: November 30, 2023, 13:27 »
Saw this popular work and found that it was generated with AI and then vector traced and uploaded as normal vector file.

https://stock.adobe.com/images/vintage-christmas-and-new-year-vector-illustration-of-santa-claus-winter-nature-with-house-christmas-tree-in-cozy-home-and-red-retro-car-for-greeting-card-cover-or-poster-ai-generated/677378064

If this is something normal at Adobe then time is not far when people will just trace and upload AI content like this.

Beautiful portfolio btw

I didn't pay too much attention to review speed, but I think it's fine. Approximately 3-4 days. A month ago, there was one batch with a longer reviewing period, but it did not exceed 10 days.

It seems that things are going back to normal now. The last few batches have all been accepted.

Almost everything is rejected these days. Just simple vectors with abstract backgrounds passed, while quality files with lots of details and unique artistic style were refused because of a "quality issue". Part of them refused as "non-compilant vectors". Never happened before.  :(

What do you guys think, should I pause uploading and wait a little bit for a better reviewer or an improved review process? Even more important, is it allowed to try to reupload the rejected content?

I am sad to hear this. For 14 years and 115,000 uploads, there is a really negligible number of mistakes, especially if there was no intention to make them. Making mistakes is in human nature; we make them on a daily basis, and if there is no bad intention, Adobe should reconsider the case.
I hope your account will be unblocked soon.

Where is that label? I don't see it in my vectors.

Very important:

-Do not submit any assets created with prompts in the style of other artists or referring to famous people or brands.


Hi Mat,

Is there any chance that this rule can be applied to all content, not just the AI generated?

Wow yes that's more than taking inspiration. That's blatant copying.
I really like your style by the way. They look gorgeous. The type of thing that if it was printed on a metal plate I'd buy them to hang in the kitchen.

Thanks Cider.
But prints on metal plates, or posters is another sad story, lol. A story in which the images of many of us are involved.  Etsy, Amazon, ebay... :(

Ouch, you have a fan.
Sadly it's not against Shutterstock's rules. Back in the old SS forum there were people who told about similar cases and said they reported it to SS, but SS did not consider it stolen, no matter how close it was to the original. It's still worth a try to report it, but I would not expect much.

It's sad actually - The art from the person who steals your work isn't bad, there is certainly some talent there - but apparently 0 own creativity skill.

Yes I know there were similar cases. Also, this is not a first time that someone makes copies of my images. Most of time I remain silent, few images wasn't big deal, so I did not report them. But this case is different. This contributor have hundreds of the images almost identical as mine, same style, same color schemes, same texts, same drawing technique, composition etc.

For example - this is my  illustration of pizza  - https://www.shutterstock.com/image-vector/homemade-pizza-vintage-decoration-sign-kitchen-1819431905
and this is his illustration  - https://www.shutterstock.com/image-vector/italian-pepperoni-pizza-vector-illustration-2259565975
Identical style! Yes, he rearranged the elements, makes different shapes, but actually it is the same pizza.  It took years for me to develop the way I drawing and this fellow got everything on a silver plate overnight.
But like I said, the biggest problem for me is the quantity of my work that has been copied, and this trend continues day after day.

I'm not at all familiar with this genre, but is there some style of old posters that these current illustrations are derived from/inspired by?

My work is not inspired by any particular illustrations. It is made from stretch.
...

Those vector you posted are not copies of my work. They are different in styles, color schemes, composition, drawing style etc.

I found this contributor makes images very similar with my work. I think that it is not just coincidence, but I am not sure is it against the rules?

This is just a few examples, there are a hundreds more and new images coming on a daily basis. There are even more on Shutterstock, but I am posting here, hoping Mat will give me the right suggestion on what to do.  I do not want to accuse anyone, just wondering is there a legal way to stop him. Any advice will be highly appreciated.

Now they disabled image editing. Can't access my folio. Probably the best option is to delete account.

My folio and images are back and editable again. Probably temporary bug occurred.

Because the "stock companies" will somehow have monopoly on "this".

February 1/5 of normal

My experiences with them are also good. This is the first time I had payment delay, but like I said, it is probably because I switched to Payoneer and last month there was problems with Payoneer accounts worldwide.

23
Just received the payment. Everything is OK now :)

24
I have similar problem but with much bigger delay. I made payout request on July 8, 2020 and still nothing. Also still waiting for response from them. Before payout request I switched from PayPal to Payoneer - maybe there is a problem? Any similar experiences?
