AI is fine, but seriously creators, you must start using a critical eye

Adobe, seriously, I'm getting so frustrated. I depend on Adobe Stock for work, and I'm fine with good-quality AI images. But there are more and more images flooding in now with ridiculous AI errors. Seriously ridiculous. You need to do a much better job managing your creators. Have some standards, for heaven's sake.

 

We all know AI spits out a lot of ridiculous images compared to the truly usable ones, but it's each creator's job to use a critical eye and either fix or discard those images. 

 

Would you like to tell me how this dog uses this dog house with that TINY opening? Not to mention that so many of the cat/dog images have weird issues with their snouts (weird shapes, missing/wonky teeth, etc.). And don't bother telling me that the target audience for this ad campaign (for a SHELTER) won't notice. They love dogs/animals, and they will notice. 

 

And there's no option to report those images either. 

 

I'm getting close to taking my monthly subscription dollars elsewhere. Do better, Adobe.

If you had included the asset ID, you would have reported the asset.

 

As for the rest: I'm with you. There are simply too much generative AI assets that are unfit for Adobe stock, that pass the (otherwise stringent) moderation. Best example are when you have geometric objects that do not fit, 6-finger-Joe, or like in you example assets where proportions are off. 

 

That's one reason why I exclude generative AI when searching for assets. Searching and selecting assets is expensive, and scrolling through tons of bad assets is not what my company pays me for.
