Does AI generated animal image require model or property release?

Hello! I am trying to be an Adobe Stock contributor. I uploaded some AI-generated illustrations a couple of weeks ago. The images are simple drawings of pet animals on a plain white background but most of them have been placed under the 'Reminder' tab with a red-banded notice saying "PROPERTY RELEASE MISSING". Can anyone, please, help me out with what to do now? I'm attaching a sample image for your better understanding.

    I uploaded some AI-generated illustrations... 

    =============

    Did you mark the GenAI checkbox as required?

    You do NOT need a property or model release for fictional AI characters.

    Did you read through ALL the GenAI requirements prior to submission?  Start here:

    1. https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/submit-your-content/submit-generative-ai-content/generative-ai-content-guidelines.html
    2. https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/submit-your-content/submit-generative-ai-content/submit-generative-ai-content.html
    3. https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/submit-your-content/submit-generative-ai-content/generative-ai-vector-submission-guidelines.html

    6. https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/submit-your-content/submit-generative-ai-content/content-policy-artist-names-real-known-people-fictional-characters.html

    It’s very important to understand all the rules otherwise your account could be deactivated for TERMS violations.

     

    Good luck.

    If your pet illustrations are AI-generated, you'll need to provide a property release confirming that you created them. This helps verify ownership and ensures compliance with Adobe Stock's guidelines.

    No. You are only required to check the boxes noting that the asset is AI generated and that people and property are fictional.

      No, except if you get asked for one. Than you will need to provide one. Easy rule.

      If they are drawings, you as the artist needs to submit a property release indicating that the art was drawn by you.
