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?

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?
so you assume that content generated by AI is stolen content?
so if you have AI content in your portfolio you are a thief too! 
whereas if you don't have AI content in your portfolio,you are consistent with your ideas,and I respect that,but I don't agree with it! 
Of course, I will NEVER generate and/or sell a single AI fake photo. Does pushing a "generate" button makes you copyright owner?

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.
The people want a lot, want it fast and cheap and here we go, the cheap fast photos(just like fast food, fast fashion..) are here.
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).

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...

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

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???
