How can I permanently disable AI-generated images showing up in my searches?

Same on my personal, my work uses it still sadly but im trying to get them to switch as well. There are quite a few really good royalty free hosting websites that don't ever include AI to begin with so you dont even have to sift through the junk. I always would rather support companies that support the artsists, clients, and customers who got the company to where they are today and not just showcase some bs computer reguritation gallery. It was a really tone deaf move on Adobe to go this route so im left with a really disappointed taste in my mouth untilt hey do better

Agreed. Adobe needs to step up their game and support their BUSINESS clients better. Literally there is no response or argument for AI, its irrelevent when no reputable business can or will use AI. If they want to include it fine but there needs to be a better permanent way to hide it for those who cant/wont use it.  And if they want to continue using AI then dedicate the resources to better filtering out that trash to keep it out of the proper art/photo etc categories. 

Hi

AI Content is flooding the stock image and I am so tired of always having to select the "Exclude generative AI" filter all the time. There should be a permanent option for excluding AI generated content, either in my account settings or in the filters menu.

Reasons I avoid AI generated images:

- Solidarity with fellow graphic designers, illustrators and photographers by avoiding using resources most likely trained without consent or knowledge.

- AI images are very recognizable and will seem unprofessional for clients and in academic work.

- Lots of it is of "AI slop" quality. Seems to be there just to make available content number go up.

I've seen lots of companies get into trouble for being lazy and using AI images, especially in marketing. I want to avoid it at all costs.

Thank you!

TOTALLY AGREE!! MODELS WITH 24 FINGERS DO NOT WORK FOR ME!! PLEASE STOP THE STUPIDITY!!!!

I've posted another thread - but not just default = No AI,

but when you click "NO AI" - a lot of AI and badly photoshopped fake images appear anyway - please allow report -> this-is-AI

Thank you for providing a useful answer about how to get rid of horrible AI images. 

create an algorithm to scan that info- maybe metadata - for the purpose of sorting into categories to see where the image originated

@Jenstastic ,

Sure, but the metadata can be stripped off, and the rest is not that easy to do. You can only get probabilities.

There are applications that can do that (recognize the difference between AI and a real photo; link below). And while this one is better than most I've tried, it can still guess wrong. But Adobe doesn't define an illustration or photo based on whether it is AI or not. An AI image can look very much like a photo, but if compositing is involved (that is, any image that could not possibly be taken with a camera), then it is still required to label it as an illustration.

Fair enough. I understand it might not be easy to see the difference from the surface - especially to an untrained eye: Even so,  I think that most people upload their illustrations and photos accordingly... at least until ai came on the scene. That seems to have muddied the waters. If honesty or the skill to determine the realness of a photo is failing us, then I have no doubt we are advanced enough to create an algorithm to scan that info- maybe metadata - for the purpose of sorting into categories to see where the image originated - from a camera or an ai program. I know that leaves manipulated photos in the air - but better that then the uncomfortably shiny sausage people created by ai... Just my thoughts...

This move by Adobe did upset a lot of photographers. In theory, contributors are ONLY supposed to label their submissions as photographs if they actually LOOK like photographs. But Adobe didn't take into account that many contributors are unable to see the difference between a photo and an illustration, and as long as the subject (let's say a portrait) has five fingers, then that's close enough. They don't take into account skin texture, individual strands of hair, centered pubils, etc. And, unfortunately, a fair amount of moderators are unable to tell the difference as well.
