How do you feel about AI?

[PADtext]

Вас не раздражает тот факт, что с развитием ИИ нужно больше времени для проверки работ реальных авторов? 2 месяца - это как-то слишком... Было бы не плохо, если бы сгенерированный контент проверяла отдельная группа людей, как мне кажется.

"It would be nice if the generated content was checked by a separate group of people, I think."

It most likely is.

Yes, it's annoying that traditional stock Contributors are waiting in a very long line to get their assets reviewed while many AI Contributors are getting theirs reviewed right away. It's definitely a strategic decision by Adobe, but I'm hoping that when they get enough AI assets in the database (it's 30% of the database now), they'll go back to a more equitable reviewing policy. Obviously, they wouldn't be doing this if they weren't earning significant revenues from AI assets.

"2 months is somehow too much."  Then submit your work to other Stock services.

On Shutterstock, for example, no code verification took more than a week. Usually 2-3 days.

AI is the future!

sorry but it's not the future .. it's the present ... and It could also be a bubble that will burst and many will get hurt ... in my 20 years as a graphic designer I've seen all sorts of things... trust me... so if you can predict the future you are very lucky ... but i doubt that  you can predict the future .. sorry 🙂

Dear @DaveFX ,

Actually, AI / Machine Learning is indeed the future. The present development of AI will continue to develop - hence the future. It won't be a bubble that will burst.

(Unless, of course, AI leads to 'Skynet,' in which case AI almost destroys humanity, which leads to a hero who gets transported back in time to stop the development of AI!)

...so if you can predict the future you are very lucky ... but i doubt that  you can predict the future .. sorry 

PS I do own a crystal ball, and it's on the cards. 😁

It's not a passing fad by any means. But I think we've seen the end of any real innovation in text-to-image advancements for the time being. Improvements will be incremental going forward, at least for a while. Some platforms are still playing catchup, while others have turned to concentrating on video. And playing devil's advocate, what happens when AI images start training AI images? Especially if the AI images doing the training are bad examples of AI? That could conceivably take us backwards. 🙂

as said days ago ... my latest files were reviewd after 1 day ... the other files 3 weeks old have been reviewed yesterday ... 

after these files i uploaded other 3 files (HUDs - Heads up Displays- or FUI - Fictional User Interfaces)  category "Graphic Elements"  ..

also these files have been reviewed in 1 day, so actually posting in the category "Graphic Elements" for me it takes 1-2 days for the review ... it's 8 years i upload to adobe stock with a portfolio of 3000+ video assets ...

"also these files have been reviewed in 1 day, so actually posting in the category "Graphic Elements" for me it takes 1-2 days for the review"

Purely coincidental. It's said that the categories are hold-overs from the Fotolia days and are probably completely unnecessary at this point. I suppose if buyers were aware of the categories, they could do searches for same that might yield the results they are looking for. However, to the best of my knowledge, buyers are unaware of the categories. Yes, I suppose someone could enter "Graphic Resource" as a search term, but most buyers are looking for something more specific even within a given category.

sorry but i'm not sure you are correct .... it seems you know better than adobe ... i will tell you if you are correct after having uploaded other files ... if i have again 1-2 days review time .. your theory wont be very succesfull 🙂

[daniellei4510]

Most of my assets appear to be reviewed in the mornings. Usually between 5 to 8. On more than a few occasions, I've had assets reviewed literally within seconds of submitting. This usually happens at night. There are all kinds of theories as to how assets are reviewed and when. I simply don't think about it much anymore, since I have no control over it. None of us do.

[DaveFX]

yeaaahhh! good luck 🙂

The category is indeed a nonsense indication. It may or may not be used for the image search, but for sure it is not used for image moderation. What is used for image moderation are the asset types submitted: Photo, Illustration, Vector, Video, ... as those need to be checked differently, and so the moderators need to be trained for the asset. A photo can't have open curves, a vector asset can't be out of focus, a still image can't have missing frames etc. 

What we've seen at the beginning of the huge generative AI flow was that moderators did check generative AI assets like photographs or illustrations. They did not check for specific generative AI errors, like the typical Six-Finger-Joe.

[Nancy OShea]

We aren't privy to how Adobe assigns assets for review.  It could be random.  Or it could be based on some business algorithm.

It would make sense to favor high-demand assets and good Contributors with high success rates.  Good Contributors are more likely to submit content that aligns with Stock's acceptance standards.

Good luck.

Whatever. Please keep in mind, you are a supplier, not a customer. Adobe fixes the rules and if 2 months is too long for you, you need to leave contributing. Adobe introduced generative AI and, since then, expanded the scope of generative AI submissions allowed. If generative AI would not be a success, they would not continue with it, or they would slow down the possibilities to submit. They don't do, so I suppose we all have to live with that.

As a side note: generative AI creators are also creators and real authors.
