Hi. Is anyone here have experience selling 360 images?...
I there. Many years ago, I sold 357, then 358, then 359, then 360 images! And this on many platforms! After, came 361, 362... And the number today is much more! ...   Sorry

Hello all,
I have a simple question regarding uploading AI images to Adobe Stock:
Is it better to upload them as 'illustrations' or as 'photos'?..
Looking forward to your anwers.
Kind regards
devy

In my opinion, the author of this post is bored in life

Yes.
AI can't make anything that's AUTHENTIC. Can't do news. Can't do illustrative editorial. Can't do anything real.
AI can make pictures, but most of them are crap.
I do agree!  Some greatly appreciate that the only skill required of new "photographers" (or old snapshooters) to work is sitting and keywording for flooding their crap...

It has not been fixed, since if you tick "Exclude Generative AI", you still get tons of AI pictures

I'm sure you'll never hear from him. I sent messages here, and by email, on October 1, 2023, 5 months ago! NEVER received anything. His silence is worth money... We must definitely mourn this money

1. Might as well try to squeeze the last remaining drop of earnings in this otherwise dying industry
I do think the same. But well, sometimes, not so bad surprises can happen, I just got 150 for an exclusive licence of an old image. Btw, I think we must convert earnings anytime we can, because a closing stock site can make good money by closing and keeping contributor royalties... Honesty and loyalty are distant memories.

Come on. This is just ridiculous as an argument.
So human competence no longer exists? Everybody is on the same foot of equality? like sheeps maybe!!! But tell me, for example, how many foreign languages do you speak?

(a) It's REALLY important to remember "ai" tools are based off of THEFT of assets. The biggest "problem" "AI" companies have is figuring out how to remove WATERMARKS. I.e., because they STEAL assets.
(b) It's important to push for/request with companies you deal with that you be compensated for the stolen assets. It's very easy to 'backwards compensate' people - it requires some programming - but definitely doable.
(c) Authors should be compensated in perpetuity, because the "ai" tools (goal) is to sell in perpetuity.
Why do you think that artificial intelligence steals things?
, they wanted to pay for it, they wanted to make a semblance of compensation!!!
They wanted to clear their conscience and avoid legal proceedings, but in fact, it is a mistake that they made, because by doing so they recognize their great accountability.
The developers say that this intelligence is like the human brain. He is taught by the example of some works, but then he creates his own works. You also learned to draw or photograph from the example of other peoples works and copied them at the beginning. Then you started creating your own works. So is artificial intelligence.
Have you ever developed a skill in your life? What is your competence if we unplug the machine? The AI did not scrutinize reality to learn, it ingested the work and expertise of real people. His vision is not objective, it is oriented and inspired by human work (which has been copied/looted). And human vision is driven by emotion, real organic intelligence, not a machine vision.
Come on. This is just ridiculous as an argument. What's your skill, if the supermarkets will be closed. Can you grow potatoes in the field, milk cows and make cheese?
Or can you sew your own clothes?
These are all skills that only a few special ones do today because of the industrial revolution. The same will happen to photographers. Why do you think that a skill of a photographer is much more worth than from a farmer? Because it's based on emotions?
Knowing how to do something does not mean knowing how to do everything, your arguments are really ridiculous. As of tomorrow, I am fully capable of managing my food autonomy; I have developed this skill over the years. And I have quantities of organic, non-hybrid seeds... You can well imagine that machine learning was done from the work of competent people, having produced quality images that sold, the machines did not ingest the unsaleable crap produced by those who today feast on generation by AI...

But I'm laughing, I looked at the two faces posted here ( https://ibb.co/N23HqZk, https://ibb.co/5knKyjz), it looks fake, plastic, artificial to me!!! Is everyone already fooled by this?

It's so funny that some people here complain that AI low range things gets stuck in queue. Why not create "Eternity" for the validation time of these ? More seriously, if you tick "Exclude Generative AI", you get tons of AI pictures, something you are supposed to get, expecially if you sort by "Featured". Why aren't Adobe programmers concerned about this?  If today I bought images like in the past, I think I would be very angry that Adobe cannot have intelligent management of its content. Are we in the era of Artificial Intelligence or rather in the era of Artificial Incompetence???.  "Medientyp: Fotos" Oh, of course, AI images ARE photos at Adobe Stock!!!

Feel free to post images that should be reviewed. If it's unfair, so we can have an opinion.

Some will say that it's the same thing as in Leonardo's time, only a brush and a canvas was needed...
Which is kinda true? Very talented painters, with a unique style, idea and persona will still make their money with painting.
But of course, that takes way more than just a brush and a canvas.
Just like it takes more than only a digital camera and a memory card ;-)
Yes.But some here think that making stock photography is making snapshots. For exemple, I just saw that one of my photos arrives number 5 out of more than 1.3 millions, taken a few months ago, with just one keyword for the animal it represents. Maybe the decades I spent working on my skills can still make a little difference. Hem, maybe I should point out that the keyword I was talking about wasn't an AI prompt...

Received a violation email too: a cartoon vector of an old man holding a glass of beer while intoxicated.
Not safe for school, apparently.
They could have worded the email differently, instead of 'violation'. They accepted it years ago so it's not MY violation.
You're true, it's not YOUR violation. But what about this? :   Your work is left (and you did many illustrations of it). Right, is the famous La Linea by Osvaldo Cavandoli. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Linea_(TV_series)violation or not???

You demonstrated things perfectly. The fact remains that this technological turning point that we are experiencing is truly unprecedented, difficult to copy/paste from the past. But there are also other image industrial powers outside of AI. And they may want to fight on the legal level.

Since people who upload AI-generated images don't own any copyright, why can these people sell these images and get royalties???
Isn't it written in the terms of use for stock sites that you must own the copyright???
Come on, big clean... GOOO!!!

No more pilots in this industrial machinery which only cares about the money it makes. Absolutely No value except MONEY.
What are governments doing? Who makes the LAW?
Democracy Moneycracy
Be sure pdophiles will be able to have a lot of fun with the AI, and entertain many things before taking real action. Where is the metaverse police?

I quote myself: https://www.canstockphoto.com/ is accessible now. On the text on it you can read :
"As advised in our announcement on September 1st, all our membership agreements have now been terminated. For eligible contributors who filed a final payment request prior to the September 30th deadline, you should receive it by December 31st."
I think it's clear that they are happy to keep the money they feel allowed to. The way they closed was not the most honest and respectful way.
They simply ignore the messages and emails they get.

I opted out from the start. But no trust about what is made by algorithms behind our back... They already are not concerned by the thieves that they feed in good conscience.
