Question about diversity in AI-generated stock images - Is this considered spamming?

Hello fellow contributors and Adobe team members,

I hope someone can provide some clarity on a question I have regarding AI-generated images and diversity representation.

As an Adobe Stock contributor who uses AI to generate images, I've been creating variations of concepts by changing the race and gender of the subjects while keeping other elements constant. I want to ensure this practice aligns with Adobe Stock's guidelines and isn't considered spamming or artificially inflating diversity.

Here's an example of my current workflow:

1. I start with a base prompt like: "A happy person working in a radio station, making a talking gesture"

2. Then I create variations such as:
- A red-haired Caucasian woman
- A bald African American woman
- An Asian woman
- A Caucasian man
- An African American man
- An Asian man

All of these would be in the same setting (radio station) with the same pose and expression.

3. Once I've covered these variations, I move on to a new concept or setting and repeat the process.

My intention is to provide diverse representation in stock imagery, but I'm concerned about whether this might be seen as spamming or gaming the system somehow.

Has anyone received guidance from Adobe on this type of practice? Do you think this approach is acceptable, or should I be doing something differently to ensure diversity in my portfolio?

I've tried contacting Adobe directly but haven't received a response yet, so I thought I'd ask the community for insights or experiences.

Thanks in advance for any advice or information you can share!

1. Examine current Stock inventory in this keyword category. You may find that this concept has already been done by other contributors.

2. Don't submit all 7 images in one batch.  Break them up over multiple submissions.

3. Ensure that each image contains unique qualities that distinguish it from other images (i.e. backgrounds, furniture, decor, etc...).

4. As with all AI generated art, double-check for imperfections. If you can't correct errors, discard & start over.

 

Good luck.

I don't see how it would be a problem. Your prompt is very generic and unless you're using seeds or some other means of generating the same setting, I suspect you're getting a very different radio station environment with every generation.

If the images are not too similar they won't be rejected on the basis of "similars", nor will they be considered spamming. However, without having seen the images, none of us here in the forum can offer a more informed opinion.
