Hi!

The illustrations which I uploaded earlier where not accepted. They were all generated using generative ai, and were different. I've seen many sellers uploading AI stuff with only minor changes in the subject, and getting approved and selling. Here's an example: https://stock.adobe.com/in/contributor/210868675/ART-poster Most of the illustrations by this contributer look too similar.

My illustrations were about landscapes and they were different. The person who reviewed them cited this reason:

"SIMILAR IMAGE(S) ALREADY SUBMITTED

Thanks for giving us the chance to consider your image. Unfortunately, during our review we found that it's similar to another image(s) you've already uploaded, so we can't accept it into our collection."

I resubmitted the illustrations by avoiding similar ones as best as I could. But, now it's been more than a week and still my photos are not being reviewed. I've uploaded the photos here.

How much time does Adobe take to review my illustrations, and who does this work? What are Adobe's guidelines for sellers who create generative ai illustrations? Can I earn doing this stuff? Are photo/illustration reviews biased here? What do you think??

I suspect the "similar pictures" thing is at least partly an automated search of all of the other Adobe stock, looking for closely similar sections (not necessarily the whole picture). Because of the way AI works, it's not at all unlikely that two different contributors may generate something very similar, I guess. That's just luck; as time goes on it may get harder and harder to make work in AI that isn't very similar to some other work somewhere.
