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.

Show AI as a label BEFORE hovering at the very least. Don't make me guess if it's AI. Also, make AI a TOP LEVEL FILTER. Put it right next to the search box and make it obvious.

 

We get it, if you can generate the images yourself you don't have to pay royalties to actual artists even though you trained your AI on the artists images... but for the love of god make it easier to filter out the trash as a default. Every time I have to disable it, it's after I search for something and find an image that looks nice as thumbnail, then I notice a detail that looks like a glitch in the matrix and say "damnit, it's AI". Then I have to waste another 20 seconds turning the filter off.

Did you press the Up Arrow at the type of this thread? Apparently, the more votes it garners, the more likely that Adobe will pay attention to the request from Buyers.

Please make generative AI filter sticky. It's a waste of my time to constantly turn it off. Same with Standard vs Premium content.

I'm so frustrated with Adobe Stock and the fact that I can't PERMANENTLY ban Generative AI imagery from appearing in my searches.  I NEVER want to use it, and I hate that I have to constantly filter it out every time I do a search.   This is something I should be able to set and forget in my settings.


Can anyone tell me how to reach someone at Adobe - who speaks English fluently - about this?

 

The few times I've tried complaining about it, the person I spoke with spoke English as a second language and I couldn't get them to understand what I wanted.

I agree. Users should have the option of selecting "sticky" Filters on the filter panel, or have some other way of permanently excluding certain results from their searches.

Bring on the vote. I refuse to use AI generated images and need this function ASA.

@Aurelio29948850tnvg,

You will need to vote for this idea. Sticky filters are possible, as the adult content filter shows.

It's been said that one can filter out ai by typing -ai after one's search prompt. It doesn't work as it's suppposed to, but it does seem to exclude more ai than by not adding it to the prompt at all. Also, one is not presented with the option to exclude ai (or any other file type for that matter) until one performs an initial search. So -ai will at least improve an initial search. Or so it appears. I haven't played with it all that much.

 

Full transparency, I submit nothing BUT ai, so I'm telling you this out of the kindness of my heart. 🙂

How about Adobe lets us switch it off and it stays off until they update something big and then we decide if we leave it on or shut it off again until the next update.

I think it's a fair common ground, AI won't go anywhere, but I'd rather won't use it until it can overcome that creepy uncanny valley.

100% agree. I cannot use AI generated images in my job, so having to manually set this filter every time I do a search is incredibly irritating.
