Very Disappointed with AI Content
I am a longtime Adobe user and both an Adobe Stock contributor and a user of the same stock. I am frankly really disappointed with the stock platform being overrun by second-rate AI images. As a contributor to the stock platform, this is frustrating given that many contributors will likely have submissions rejected over marginal issues like noise or color correction, while AI images that are virtually unusable seem to skate through to the top search results with impunity. They’re cluttered with artifacts, smudges, impossible proportions or perspective, shameless cliches, and illegible text. Contributors of AI content are not even taking the time to clone out mistakes or paint over things that would take an amateur moments to fix. I’m really disappointed in the lack of more rigorous standards.
I think AI assets should be de-prioritized by default in the search parameters. I should not have to check “exclude AI” every time I search. My team has had to send out messages to designers telling them not to use AI images after a few images made it through the review process without people catching the uncanny distortions. Personally, I don’t want any AI created stock. Real photos, and footage are of greater value and I’m not interested in polluting the visual landscape further with AI content that has clearly not been reviewed or held to any standard.
