ATTENTION! Starting today, Adobe Stock hides AI images for customers BY DEFAULT!

I visit the site every day in the search section. And today I noticed that suddenly by default "Exclude Generative AI" is now set when searching!

This is a serious loss for the creators of AI content, because from now on AI content will sell even worse, several times worse.

Even if the user does not find a relevant image among regular photos and illustrations, Adobe Stock will not suggest options from AI content when setting "Exclude Generative AI"!

This is a terrible innovation for AI creators, about which the creators of AI content were not informed in any way.

How long will it last? Or forever?

Is there any information about this anywhere? News? I have not received any letter from Adobe.

Adobe rolled back the modifications. I suppose, based on that, that they tried something, and it did not work out as they thought it should.

I think this feature makes sense. Though it's risky for sales as an AI artist if Adobe stock customers (consumers) want AI-generated content, why do they go for Adobe instead of AI platforms like Firefly? Customers (consumers) in Adobe stock want their money worth it by original content from designers. They can use Firefly if they need AI-generated content.

This is my point of view as a contributor of both (AI and hand crafted digital stuff) and may help you also.

Probably the best news we've had in a while.

Filters are designed to allow users to manually select their preferences and save them for future use.
Now those customers who look for AI generated assets are forced to adjust pre-selected settings each time, this undermines the purpose of filters and creates unnecessary friction. THIS IS NOT A USER FRIENDLY EXPERIENCE.

By just paying attention to a customer base who complained about AI generated content, Adobe has completely ignored those who were ok with it...

Before this update, enabling this filter needed multiple operations, and not all customers did know about the filter. Today, all you have to do is to click a simple flag.

So don't complain. This is much more userfriendly than the prior situation.

Adobe created something that is easier to use than what was before.

This is a simple solution, I agree, but it is NOT correct and not user-friendly enough, and at the same time it greatly limits AI content by automatically hiding 35% of all content. That is why this topic has grown, and that is why there is so much emotion here.

Am I wrong?

Hello when searching on AdobeStock by default there is a check mark exclude AI this is a bug of some kind or this is done on purpose so as not to sell AI content???? If you don't believe me, try searching!!!

No, it's not a bug. Read on this forum there are already very informative threads.

This is a very big stupidity, we need to convey to them that in order to make a flag in people's accounts to disable, for example, AI work and that's it, new clients will not look for where to turn on AI... they will simply leave, isn't it clear, and those who don't like it, go to the settings once, turn it on and that's it...

That is quite unfair and demotivating for AI contributors, what's the sense to upload if noone will see your content with this filter

By @Alexandra34520339p8jn

Sorry, no. It's your choice to contribute.

The same argumentation could be used for photographers waiting weeks to get their assets approved, just to get hidden behind thousands of generative AI assets in the search. Business is not about fairness. And Adobe does not have to be fair towards a certain group, except towards their customers. If you feel demotivated, you need to quit.

Again: the Adobe stock site does not exist, to give contributors money, it exists, because it's part of Adobe's business model to serve the creative community. We contributors are necessary to fuel this business model, that's why you are getting a share of the sales.

You need to stay realistic about your role in this. Adobe spends money to keep you happy, but it is not a not for profit organization. Clearly, it is using contributors to make more money so that the CEO can keep the shareholders happy.

If so this could be why my sales have dropped so significantly, since when did this auto filter update start?

As I wrote above - I noticed this since yesterday.
Probably they started implementing it yesterday, but maybe for a small number of users it was implemented earlier.

I had good sales before January 10th for AI images. Let's see what the sales will be after January 10th.
