Lots of rejected AI images

Hello everyone, colleagues.
I encountered a problem with many AI rejecting images and I don’t understand why, because sometimes images with worse quality are accepted, and images with better quality are rejected. Sometimes images are of the same quality, half are rejected, half are accepted.
I generate in Midjouney, increase in Topaz Gigapixel without applying the enhancement settings.
What do you think is wrong?
Here are some images for example:

In addition to the valid comments from @RALPH_L  and @daniellei4510 , I also see the following:

zagr 8 - 354.jpg - the bright spot in the woman's hair looks like a mistake. The bokeh spots of light in the background don't make sense because there is no source.

zagr 8 - 355.jpg - definitely should not have been accepted. The girl's teeth, ear and fingers are poorly formed. If a Buyer licenses this and then takes a closer look, they'll ask for a refund.

zagr7 - 186.jpg - spot of light in her shoulder, the hand is oddly shaped and green.

zagr7 - 190.jpg - pupils aren't round; inner corners of eyes very unrealistic.

 

As you've learned, moderation, which is done by humans, can be inconsistent. I think they're under pressure to maintain a high volume of reviews, sometimes resulting in flawed images that are accepted.

Some kind of terror of AI content just started, I encountered the same thing.
And yes, the problem is that it is impossible to understand the essence of the problem!
I think this is simple envy and downgrading of ratings, which ensures a decrease in sales. Since a lot of generative content began to reach the top, it is clear that photographers and artists who are also moderators suffer because of this.
I realize this sounds like a conspiracy theory, but what are the options?
All these comments about pointing out quality problems are completely unhelpful! Thus, problems can be found in anything! Three fingers on the hand are still clear, but otherwise there is no logic, and still no one answers the main question.

If you believe that "All these comments about pointing out quality problems are completely unhelpful! " you are totally missing the point of the moderation process at Adobe Stock. Adobe wants to ensure the best experience for Buyers and provide assets of high quality. They have also provided this forum so that Contributors can gain some more clarity on the reasons for their rejected images. Many new Contributors do not properly understand the quality levels desired, nor are they experienced at evaluating their own images for compliance. The OP was apparently unaware of the technical issues in their submission, and has acknowledged the feedback. So how is that not helpful?

There no need to promote conspiracy theories here. Adobe is NOT trolling and bullying their Contributors - that's just nonsense. 

AI content is NOT crowding out photo content. ~6% of the assets in the Adobe Stock database of >376 million are AI. The rest are photos, videos and vectors. 


Dear friend, these are very strong words: propaganda and conspiracy theory! %))))))
Essentially, this is the same thing that you often say here: - the moderator made a mistake!
When AI appeared, heated debates began about what was there, where and who would be displaced, and how many artists would be left without work!
AI does it! AI is displacing artists and photographers, and displacing them at a very serious level, because there are many more people who can write a beautiful prompt than there are many more people who can press a button on an expensive camera, and many more than there are artists.
Are you looking at the top authors? 80% of it is generative content!
Therefore, I do not see anything surprising in the fact that one or more moderators express their protest against generative content in this way!
If Adobe suddenly decided to raise the quality bar for AI content, there would likely be a mass mailing saying it would no longer be accepted.
Secondly, if the quality bar were raised without warning, this forum would drown in such topics. And so, in view of the fact that there are only dozens of such questions, and not thousands, this means that we are dealing with a protest, perhaps, of only one moderator! %) And this is not propaganda of a conspiracy theory, this is a common assumption, the same as the moderator made a mistake! Only the assumption “the moderator made a mistake” is much less convincing! %)

Thank you very much for your opinion, I will try to improve the quality through retouching

zagr7 - 186
There's something about the hand that I can't quite put my finger on (no pun intended). Is the middle finger abnormally long? The decorative hat/mask: jewel-studded costumes raise problems when it comes to AI. All of the jewels are misshapen or have random facets, while some seem a cross between a jewel and decorative cloth.

zagr 8 - 355
Although accepted, it should have been rejected. Look at the teeth at 200%. The eyes lack detail and there are fly-away hairs that could be removed.

zagr - 354
Same deal with the teeth and eyes. The woman's earring adds nothing and could have been removed. The decoration on the girl's head lacks distinct ball shapes and in spots look like a mass of jelly.|

zagr7 - 190
This should have been rejected as well. This is one of those Midjourney hybrids that are part photorealistic and part illustration. The pupils and lips, for example, are far from photorealistic.

355 needs to be deleted, even though it got an initial approval. If you have many of such assets and Adobe reviews your account, your account could be suspended.

 

You will need to be much more critical of your own pictures. Hoping that the moderator does not see the errors is not a good strategy. That could backfire.

Spend less time creating images and more time editing them.

Just a quick glance at number 354 and I see:

--the image is too soft and not in focus.

--the berries in the girls hair are melted together.

--the lady has an orange spot in her hair.

--her left eye (the bag underneath) does not match the right eye.

-- her ear ring is formed wrong.

--her ring is formed wrong.

--the finger nail on her pointing finger is wrong.

--the bridge of her glasses is formed wrong.

Should I keep looking?

Seriously, don't waste your time sending bad images. AI is a new frontier, but it does not take away the need to review and edit.

Basically if anything is Off in the image, it there are tell tail signs of Ai it wont be accepted. Plus you do yourself a diservice submitting bad content, I'm quite sure the more refusals the lower your standing and we all suffer with large volumes of crap waiting for reviews.
