Hey Ricky336! Several million files are uploaded to Adobe Stock every day. Who has time to look through them all and when? My photos are always rejected on the second day - as if a computer program (AI) were doing it. These photos were accepted. They have the same complete lack of context and the same composition as the rejected photograph. They simply show a specific subject. The only difference between a rejected photo and accepted photos is the keywords. When I uploaded a rejected photo, keywords were automatically suggested (keywords the AI considered relevant). And for the first time, I saw that none of them matched the photo. The AI suggested words like: dial, clock, speedometer, and so on. The only word I used from the AI suggestions was "white." When submitting accepted photos, I always used many more of the AI-suggested keywords. And it looks like the AI was "offended".
The auto keyword suggestion is, of course, based on what the subject could possibly be. So, I'm not surprised it came up with dial, clock, speedometer, etc, because there is no reference to what it actually is.
Therefore, this is where the skill of choosing keywords comes in!
