Adobe Stock / Re: Generative AI updates from Adobe VP Matt Smith« on: Yesterday at 13:37 »@DiscreetDuckAdobe should name "AI generated Images", and exclude any of them from the term "Photo". Playing on ambiguity, they don't really want to separate the naming of these two types of content. Guess why... What would Adobe say to photography contributors who don't want to use AI? Either you produce with AI, or your content will be permanently drowned? (by photos that are not) Is unfair competition still a relevant concept? 3
Adobe Stock / Re: Generative AI updates from Adobe VP Matt Smith« on: Yesterday at 07:27 »Scaling moderation capabilities by: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 4

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. 6
Adobe Stock / Re: Adobe has blocked my account« on: Yesterday at 04:40 »On 12.03.24 Adobe has blocked my account with a portfolio of over 50,000 images and over $2000 on it because of "terms violation". I Ignore posts from blvdone (and some other ridiculous posts), it saves me time I don't say it's the case here, but even a thief can come and complain on this forum, he will be supported by some ridiculous people. 7
123RF / Re: AI Images that were under Photos deleted« on: April 24, 2024, 17:20 »So when there was no "AI Images" upload type yet, 123RF accepted AI Images as photos (last year) 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. 8

This seems extremely shocking.
Really, I doubt Adobe would do this sort of thing lightly. Your portfolio had 200k images in 2021, 50k in 2024? 9

General Stock Discussion / Re: How much is AI taking away from "normal" stock photo sales? (Big Picture Trends)« on: April 21, 2024, 06:33 »Sadly today's world is a fake world of fake food, fake textiles, fake movies, false human relationships and so on. Of course as continuation today we have fake photos. I'm positive person, but that is the reality.Totally agree. Talent accessible to all, without learning, without effort, immediately and without singularity. The reward right away, but without all the steps that precede it. False satisfaction, because true satisfaction comes at the end of error and effort. Skill is no longer necessary, everyone can. We advocate diversity but in the same time kill authenticity. The reign of the artificial, without truth, without soul. We even reprogram the values. And most humans with software from another time are silent, the ignorants express themselves so much everywhere. But machines amalgamate and regurgitate, they do not and will never create anything (except the abyss into which humans collapse with joy). 13

You talk about faith and you assume a conspiracy theory. Of course, most here use AI generation and have lost all objectivity. Many with divergent opinions have left this forum or no longer express themselves.
What about facts and ethics? I(we) would NEVER have sold rights to use my(our) photograhies to feed machine learning. Adobe forced me(us) by giving money, to infringe my(our) copyrights on MY(our) own images. It seems to me that no choice was offered to refuse this money. In this way, they can suggest a mutual understanding, in possible legal procedures, and claim to act ethically. Do you consider this ethical, really? 'Firefly Contributor Bonus'... Firefly or Fireburn? because Adobe paid us for the match and the gasoline that will be used to make us take off high... as Fireflies... 14

Might as well try to squeeze the last remaining drop of earnings in this otherwise dying industryI 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. 23

The biggest "problem" "AI" companies have is figuring out how to remove WATERMARKS. I.e., because they STEAL assets.Why do you think that artificial intelligence steals things? 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... 25

The biggest "problem" "AI" companies have is figuring out how to remove WATERMARKS. I.e., because they STEAL assets.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. 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? |
