Continued Frustration with "too many similars"

[daniellei4510]

Below are the assets that have been rejected over the past 5 days for being too similar. The baby was initially rejected for quality issues, which I fixed, and it was then rejected as too similar to other assets. The standard refusal text reads, “We can't accept more than three color variations of the same image or similar images.” That does not apply here. And, “Models must appear in different situations or with different expressions to be considered.” I believe this actually applies to photographers who are submitting images of the same model, but these clearly are not images of the same model. The hamster, for example, bears little resemblance to the purple cabbage lady. 😉 (Sorry, I'm trying to find some humor in this, as my level of frustration has reached its peak.) I don't even want to talk about what this is doing to my acceptance to rejection percentages.



The following three assets were accepted. I'm not sure how they differ from the portrait assets above, and one is black and white, despite the consensus that submitting black and white assets should be avoided.



And here are recently accepted assets, even though there are already millions of wallpapers and backgrounds on Adobe Stock and should therefore not be submitted, as they are likely to be rejected.



I'm now to the point where I really don't know what to submit and what not to submit going forward. Although I'm apparently safe with black and white images and wallpapers.

Any thoughts as to what might be going on here?

That's right. Lately, I've also experienced an increase in the rejection rate due to similarity. Some of my assets were even rejected because they were similar, even though I never submitted them.

My assets are indeed from AI, and each AI generates and each prompt contains no more than 4 images that I sort and submit. Previously, there was no problem when I submitted 3-4 AI images from the same prompt, now only 1 image from 1 prompt is still rejected because it is similar.

I analyzed Adobe's curation policy and system due to the increasing and massive submission of AI images, where many contributors spam AI images. #sad

Yes, this also what's bothers me too ... It's not even problem by prompt(s) if you put all four or less, still something else trigger glitch rejection .. At this point we need magic crystal ball to know what should be accepted 😁

Same happened here. Got some rejected images due to similarity and I don't see any similarity at all. I do understand when I get rejected AI generated images due to quality issues because I am still learning. But this is irritating since the rejected images have been in the reviewing queue for a longer time while other images have been accepted although I have uploaded them at a later time. And one of the rejected images I first found under the pending section where you get asked to correct it (here it was a matter of title and keywords). Anyway, I was also thinking of frustrated reviewers 😉

A half dozen more "similar" rejections, erroneously, in my opinion. I don't even get angry any more, at least as long as they keep accepting my abstract background and wallpapers. I no longer even count them against my "personal" acceptance percentage (my percentage after rejected assets are corrected and accepted), since I no longer treat them as even having been submitted. I mark them as "green" in Lightroom and fully intended to resubmit them when this nonsense is over. 🙂
