Yes, many people use it because of this, I've used it for a while at some point too, but that was my first thought when I saw the news.

My guess is it will become subscription based.

3
I received my payment today.

4
I am still waiting too.

5
I havent got a payment, I requested it on time.

8
According to my payments page I didn't receive the full sum too.
I received the sum from my earnings page(after taxes).
I opted out from AI training so the additional sum on the payments page(or the missing sum) is not that.

9
Yepp. Still have my doubts they'll pay you for the same images that have already been used for training each month. But I guess we'll see next month.

I won't receive anything since I opted out. I added the info for those asking.

DannyCanva said this:
"AI royalties will continued to be paid each and every month going forward."
I think they also mentioned it would be for the next 3 years, but I might be wrong, not sure this period was for the AI royalties.

I myself opted out.

Is there a way to see number of views for older months?

With the help of artificial intelligence, not only books are written, but doctoral dissertations are written.
Artificial intelligence will show everyone where crayfish spend the winter, dont flatter yourself.

I only said that comparing paper and digital books is not the same as comparing art created by people and art created by AI.
Replace art with books, it is still valid.

Probably a very dumb question, but how do you check your own port to see if there are AI images in them?  Up till today I did not upload any AI to Adobe, but when I read this thread, I 'd like to check if Adobe mislabeled any of mine ...

Replace contributornumber and contributorname with your actual number and name.

Paper books vs. digital books, and vinyl vs. digital formats is not the same as drawings/ photography by human beings vs. drawings/ photography by AI. In the first case the medium is changed but the author is the same, you can continue writing books and music and selling them in digital format, with art/ photography your input is replaced.

Adobe Stock / Text to vector graphics in Adobe Illustrator
« on: October 14, 2023, 17:59 »
 Like Firefly for creating images and photos, Firefly for Illustrator will be able to create entire vector graphics from scratch. And like the other Firefly models, the vector model, too, was trained on data from Adobe Stock.

In its beta, Illustrator will now let you create entire scenes through a text prompt.

And here is the info from Adobe:

What's left to wonder is who will they train their AI on in the future when we are no longer needed for creating vector graphics.

Adobe Stock / Re: Adobe AI content double standards

It seems all those vectorizers convert to SVG, hence all those AI vectors being SVG files, meanwhile non AI vectors get labeled as AI.

September is worse than August for me. It seems I would be able to say this each new month.
Applies and exports are up.

Is this the same person with three different accounts or are they just copying the same title.
Charity illustration concept with abstract, diverse persons, hands and hearts. Community compassion, love, and support towards those in need.

I am wondering the same.

21
I found out this link by Jo Ann Snover:
https://stock.adobe.com/contributor/contributornumber/contributorname?&filters%5Bgentech%5D=only
Replace contributornumber and contributorname with your actual number and name.

22
That doesn't sound good, do you check with some filter?

23
I wonder how Midjourney got their "Dataset".  Is there any alternative to Midjourney to create AI stock photos?

They scraped the internet.

I agree with you Mir. I didn't write it in my post, but what you say is true. Many customers will create their own custom images.

When I talked about salary, I was referring to those who do photography or illustration in a traditional way, without AI. The key is to differentiate yourself and communicate well with a blog, a YouTube channel, or a podcast. Often, those who buy images fall in love with the author's story or the process of creating the images.

I don't see a great future in uploading images to the big stock agencies. As for photography and illustration authors, only the best will survive. Maybe I'm wrong, but I believe we need to invest time in improving the quality of our work, not in producing millions of useless AI images. Agencies will profit and build their own AI engine. But we contributors don't, the slices to be shared are too small.

My thinking is in line with what you wrote above, I don't think that non AI images will stop selling, but only a few will be able to continue making a living with it. My previous comment wasn't sarcastic or anything, sorry if it sounded like that.

If you try to generate what you exactly want you'll see how difficult that is, so for the clients is much more easy and less time consuming to use a good AI search engine and find the best of AI generated content from image data base. To me the future is in the best search engine.

What Her Ugliness said.

I don't know if we must do it with generic stock agencies or niche agencies, but earning a full salary with AI will be very difficult. There are too many contributors and too many images for the same pie to share.

There will be no earning any salary from AI images for contributors, clients will type what they want and pay to the big companies. At least thats how I see it.
