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

I've noticed very poor quality AI-generated images showing up in my Adobe Stock searches. The only way to filter these out is to manually select a box "Exclude AI-generated Imagery" every single time I do a search. If I begin a new search it defaults back every single time to include AI-imagery.

 

I cannot use AI-generated imagery in my work as a designer. I am against the concept of it, and it's decimating the creative industries. Also, the images are horrible quality and not professional.

 

I need a way to permanently disable AI-imagery showing up in my searches. Adobe, can you please add this as a function to my account?

 

I also hope more creatives speak up about this in the comments below. I am considering leaving Adobe as a customer if they continue to push poor quality AI-generated content on their site.

Coming back here AGAIN because this hasn't been addressed by Adobe. I still cannot filter out AI-generated images, and there are thousands of poor quality AI images on Adobe's site that are not labeled as AI. There are hundreds of posts like mine, urging Adobe to address this problem. Graphic Designers do not want to use AI-generated poor quality images in their work!

I don't recall the camera or old photoshop needing to engulp the entire internet using content without permission to generate a photo or psd. I love how you cut and paste this everytime some one asks for a perminant ai filter

I wouldn't go so far as to say Adobe Stock has been ruined by AI, but it has suffered from too many crappy AI assets having been accepted. As someone who submits 100% AI, this is infuriating to me and I have no doubt it has affected my sales to some degree. Personally, I don't believe Adobe will ever make it possible to disable AI in the filter column any more than they would make it possible to disable videos or illustration or any other category.

Yes, please! The ability to permanently filter out AI images from my Adobe Stock account would be most welcome. AI has ruined Adobe Stock and it is frustrating to have to click "Exclude Generative AI" every time I do a search.

If you accidentally licensed an AI asset because it wasn't properly labeled, you can request a credit for that license. 

Go to the first post in this thread and vote it up so that Adobe will take this request under serious consideration.

I work with large format printing, and simply cannot use AI generated images due to the inconsistency and weirdness of AI generated images being scaled 10 to 100 times the size than on screen. It is making it hard for me to justify continuing to use Adobe Stock when i have to manually filter out AI generated assets every single time i do a search, and wasting our monthly tokens because AI images are too poorly labeled and easy to miss. Please add an account setting or permanent setting to forever disable AI generated imagery on Adobe Stock.

Did you add your vote to the original post? It might help to convince Adobe to add such a feature to the Adobe Stock portal.

We've all seen this line repeated a lot already, I think it's not helpful and condescending since and OP isn't even asking to remove AI completely. We just want AI to be something you can opt into, versus it being the default.
