Read the submission requirements in your Stock Contributor User Guide. 

Under Photo Dos and Don'ts,  Don't convert to black & white or duotone. Buyers want full color image.

 

There may be other rejection reasons as well.

Stock customers expect perfect, high resolution diffusions.  AI is notoriously bad at details and geometry.  It takes a skilled artist to fix all AI mistakes to make them Stock-worthy.

You're correct. Don't waste your time submitting sepia, duotone or monotone; leave them in full-color, and Buyers can alter the color if they wish to do so.

I’m happy to post the exact files later tonight, but I have a weird update since my post. For background I created 22 old timey artificial intelligence generated images of portraits. These portraits would be of various animals in top hats, a wolf man in a top hat, and a bunch of robots. Today I received a message saying all my non robot pics were accepted, and all my robot pics were not. This development would mean that the sepia/old timey tone of the pics was not the issue, but the fact of them being robots is? They're exactly the same but for the subject matter being a robot over an animal.

You should have said at the outset that the sepia portraits were AI generated. We all assumed that you had photographed people and converted them to sepia, which as indicated above, is prohibited by Adobe Stock. It might just be a coincidence that the robot images were rejected, or it might be an IP rejection. Please do upload a couple of the rejected assets, and indicate the rejection reason.

You do not guess the refusal reason, you get it. Please post a picture with the exact refusal reason (the header only).

Please share 1-3 of your original pics so the experienced contributors here can say what they see as the reason Adobe rejected it.  Do NOT re-edit, reduce or change in any way what you submitted. You say AI - is that artificial intelligence or Adobe Illustrator (we're stuck with both being AI).
