Your positioning is clear. And you have some nerve to intervene on this post. 
You should look for the post with the petition: "Come on people! Signing! PRO AI" 
or go and pour out your views on the numerous posts that praise all the advantages of AI

Unfortunately, the vast majority of those who still speak here are won over by AI.
Otherwise, the approach of this petition is commendable. But, I doubt Adobe will change its policy, they enjoy an all-powerful situation. And they dare to talk about ethics...

as I have already said,I am in favor of the petition,I hope it will be accepted. 
I think creating using AI is a good thing,but placing a limit on the AI ​​content that can be uploaded is an equally good thing.
I believe that 500 AI contents in queue per account are more than enough,it seems like a good wide limit to me.
but in any case mine is a limited vision,while Adobe has a broader vision of the situation,so I'm more than sure that they will do the best thing.

Since you are still here, the principle of unfair competition, of large-scale theft of intellectual property, does that speak to you, does that revolt you?

Do you have any idea of the work and time required to produce 500 professional quality images (photo, 3d, vector...) of 500 different subjects, for someone who does not use AI?

And frankly, your endless praise for Adobe... 

then as I already said,in my opinion basing a portfolio only on AI is a mistake in the long term,just as not making AI content is a mistake too!

The first copy of the black doctor has three arms, yours has two, which is proof that there was no plagiarism

Personally, I no longer look for all the thefts and copies of my images, because this is very discouraging. I stopped the day when on Shutterstock, by clicking on one of my top sellers, more than 10 identical images in thieves' portfolios appeared. They don't care, they take the money.

[Edit]: Don't go clicking on your best sellers on Shutterstock. I just did it again, it's incredible, we could spend whole days reporting thieves. I am disgusted. And they do nothing.

The AI generation is the dream for incompetent, lazy people who don't even have respect for the word "artist", who were previously only capable of producing photographic craps. Even ignorant kids play to destroy this previous world by using these new technological toys without even having to leave their room, ...

yes, definitely! always attack all the users rather than accepting the world is changing

exactly like the disparagement of mobile pix before they mastered the market.

resistance is futile

It is not the question of accepting changes but of being aware of a technological revolution.
It's not about resisting, it's about choosing more freedom and prefering true life and true creation.

The real can still be beautiful and fascinating.

The AI generation is the dream for incompetent, lazy people who don't even have respect for the word "artist", who were previously only capable of producing photographic craps. Even ignorant kids play to destroy this previous world by using these new technological toys without even having to leave their room, under the watchful eye of their parents who see them as little geniuses.
But soon, they will wake up from this dream of easy money and realize that they have been the tool of these technologies which will shamelessly eject them from the production chain.

edit: My joke of the day: Do you want hands with 5 fingers? well, write in your AI prompt to generate 4-fingered hands ... 

Happened same with me, I noticed few sales from envato, after few hours they disappeared from my wirestock account.

I contacted wirestock support
This is the response that I received

"Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I've checked with our financial team, and these sales were removed as they were not yet finalized and confirmed.
Please rest assured as those will be added to your dashboard/balance in the coming weeks, and most likely there will be more than what you've seen.
 
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
 
Best wishes,
Ike".

But today I received mail from payoneer that my payment from wirestock is on the way.
But those missing sales were not added to the balance that I am about to receive from wirestock.

Maybe "in the coming weeks" <> "today"

shift happens - join or wither

Another shift will happen later for all those ephemeral human generators who 'joined'

Scaling moderation capabilities by:

• Doubling the size of our expert human moderation team who specialize in content review
• Creating and training the team on new generative AI specific policies and best practices
• Introducing specific generative AI moderation systems to efficiently categorize and review content for any potential policy violations
• Refining our audit systems to monitor the existing collection more efficiently for content that may violate our new generative AI policies
• Reviewing and removing thousands of existing assets from Stock and continuing to actively monitor the full Adobe Stock collection

So, the distance between a blog post and a dedicated forum is... one week. 

'You' see here, they only talk about content, the contributor already no longer exists when it comes to moderation.
The future is autonomous Adobe, without (or with a minimum) of contributing suppliers, with less(no) royalties to pay, but an in-house team to manage the content and systems. And all customers will be so happy to feel like artists...
All this will be in their financial interest, it will inevitably happen!
AI content don't belong to contributors. Soon, AI content will no longer come from contributors.

The brainless prompters sheeps will realize too late, once they are ejected by autonomous systems and will come here to complain en masse. See you very soon!
They will still be able to apply for a job to join the "expert human moderation generation team" at Adobe... but it will be a small enclosure for a small herd.

Matt:  I've had illustrations rejected by Adobe because:

- Non compliant use of another artist�s name.
- Undeclared Generative AI Content

This is not true - I don't use and have never used AI.

Do I risk getting banned from Adobe from incorrect AI rejections?

Thanks

Proof of their incompetence in handling situations. They are barely capable of giving a marketing speech, �everything is fine, we are managing!�
And the contempt for honest contributors from the start is growing, as they depend less and less on them. The contributor community is divided, great for them, they can rule.

So when there was no "AI Images" upload type yet, 123RF accepted AI Images as photos (last year)

I had over 1000 images accepted with all needed keywords and titles, marking them as AI.

They were selling ok, but, last month sales dropped 90% and Images were just deleted, not moved to AI images, deleted.

1000+ approved images removed from site without even saying anything, I have no words.

Good news if they want to clean their collection. AI image is not a photo. As a customer, I would be please not to get AI images in download, described as true photographies. It's fake, and lying.

Did Adobe steal something?No
Did Midjourney steal something?Yes

What about the notion of receiving stolen goods?
And make it the source (even partial) of a business?
