Help Understanding “Similar Content” Rejection on AI Character Images

I'm no expert on game characters.  But all AI images suffer from a certain degree of sameness, depending on the amount of source content that was used to train it. The same patterns begin to emerge for body types, eyes and hairstyles. If you stare at AI all day, every day as Reviewers do, it all begins to look the same. Humans are hardwired to notice repeating patterns intuitively. 

Stock judges for Uniqueness, both in relation to other content you’ve submitted and content already in the Stock collection. And Stock contains well over 300 million assets.

Follow the advice given for Vector Icon variation.  Avoid using similar shapes to the extent that you can. Mix up your submissions with other content.

Hope that helps.

Hi @CodiXpert ,

Commenting on the technical quality:

The edge of the image is jagged. Toes are merge with leg and toe. 

The second file is also jagged. I'm not sure if the eyes on the chest was intended.

There is a crack in what appears to be an eye of the third image. That too is jagged.

The watermark on your image hindered detailed inspection. I assume you did not submit the image to Adobe with them. 

Definition for Similar.

Each image must be significantly different from others you upload. You are allowed to submit similar images if each image has something significantly different and beneficial for the customer. In a series of images there must be something significantly different from all other images you submit. Color change is not counted. Example the subject back, front, side and top. Two sides only if each side has something significantly different. Landscape, portrait and close-up count. A model standing and sitting is also counted. The above are counted as similar but allowed because of the added beneficial differences. If two images are looking closely alike (although different) they are counted as too similar and will be refused. There is a limited number of similar images accepted for each file format although meeting the above criteria. For new contributors, it is more advantageous to start with a wide assortment of different images. 

The information about Generative AI Content will answer most of your AI questions.

Best wishes

I should also add that I submit a lot of images of people (among my bestsellers), often times being the types of image that Adobe claims they are looking for, and they still get rejected for being too similar. It's a losing battle at this point.

We are not Adobe employees and therefore have no access to your submitted images. Please upload the original that were rejected for "quality" here for us to review. As far as similar goes, we can only tell you what Adobe has made available to us in their help pages. Unfortunately, there seems to be new criteria that we have not been made aware of. We have seen a large rise in the number of "similar" rejections.,
