Question

Why is Adobe Stock excepting Ai generated assets without quality control?

Single icon that’s part of a larger icon set that is NOT labeled as Ai-generated in the art bio.

I’m wondering why Adobe is accepting this poorly made Ai slop as premium assets, and what are they going to do about a better filtering and quality control system? This specific icon is part of a larger icon set available on Adobe Stock, there is no mention of Ai being used to create this asset and no other Ai tags in the bio but this is VERY clearly an Ai asset as you can tell by the inconsistent line work in the icon itself. We are paying for premium assets, and this is not it. As a graphic designer, I do not appreciate spending time searching for something, downloading it, applying it to my project only to find out on closer inspection that it looks like *this*. Ya’ll charge way too much for your subscriptions for us to except this crap. And it’s only going to get worse as more and more “artists” and “designers” discover and use Ai. This is not a premium asset. This IS Ai generated and needs to tagged as such so my search filter for no Ai actually works. And there needs to be better quality control for uploads. Adobe - fix this. Thanks.

    I’m curious, what evidence do you have that the artwork is GenAI?

    Some could argue that irregular lines & squiggles add character to artwork. With so much competing Stock inventory (over 900 million assets), it’s challenging to submit unique content.
