I mean the quality isn't like ultra 4k but it's not bad.

Generative AI? You claim, the quality is not bad?

Just checked one, very fast, at 100% and I saw the aliasing from the upscale:

This means that the quality is bad!

P.S. If you wonder why Adobe are so picky and look so closely, it's because Adobe's stock customers do exactly that before they use the pictures on adverts, billboards etc. If it isn't absolutely perfect, Adobe's customers complain and get their money back. Adobe's reputation suffers badly. So Adobe work hard to make sure problems never make it to sale... so you aren't just trying to please Adobe, you're also working to please every possible customer of Adobe...

Before you spend any more time uploading images that have obvious flaws, read ALL of the material in the Adobe stock help pages. This page clearly states that you must inspect your images at 100%.

The help pages will help you to understand the quality level Adobe is looking for.

Like I said before I didn't realize images were being zoomed in, when not zoomed in the image looks fine, that's why I assumed the image quality was ok.

Adobe's reviewers will zoom into 100%-200% and check every detail carefully. You need to do the same in Photoshop or similar. Look over every aspect of the image, after it passes the "looks great" test. This image was clearly increased in size. If this was done by the AI, then the AI is useless to you. If it was done by you, then DON'T - Adobe forbid it. Submit only at the natural size. If the AI makes work that is too small to submit, then the AI is useless to you...

Always zoom in to your images to at least 100%. You can then see the technical/quality issues!
