Stock Integrity
I am a wildlife photographer selling images for thirty plus years. I was thinking of tentatively uploading images and video to Adobe stock but I have discovered two major problems. The first is that on checking for images of Pink footed Geese, a very high proportion of images and videos are of other species, but incorrectly labelled. This suggests poorly informed suppliers (ie. photographers with inadequate nature ID skills). The second point is that there are a lot of AI images with flawed characteristics (nearly every single one was incorrect). At least wildlife artists only rarely get it wrong. So I did the same with Atlantic Salmon and found the exact same, with lots of species new to science being illustrated. Now AI definitely has a place, but not in wildlife photography or videoing and especially of behaviour. I know this will upset some people, but I only looked at two species. Imagine if I covered them all!
