Is Adobe going to stop accepting AI-generated images soon?

Dear community,

I have worked with Adobe since 2023. Recently, they blocked my contributor account, which contained about 11,000 AI-generated images. It's worth noting that I was earning more than $450 per month from this account, so my images were clearly in demand. Recently, some of my friends' accounts were also blocked by Adobe, and i'm predicting because of they also worked with AI-generated images their account got blocked. Adobe didn't even send an email to me or my friend explaining the reason behind blocking our accounts. I even created a new account last month with AI images, and they blocked that account too. My question is Adobe going to stop accepting AI-generated images soon?

Remember that if you were making $450 per month, Adobe was earning $900; thus, they have no incentive to block accounts unless they are in violation of the T&C's. The fact that they also blocked your second account is an indication that either you continued to violate the terms with that account, or the violations in the first account were so egregious that they don't want you back again. Many of the legal guidelines are in place to protect both Adobe and the Buyer, therefore your violations cou

Hi @Noobs Gallery ,

Just a few points to note. The contract you signed states that Adobe "may suspend your account without prior notice". 

Secondly you are sent a contact link, for you to work with to make your enquiries. They will answer as soon as they get to your ticket.

It sounds as though you have multiple accounts. Multiple accounts are not recommended. It is only allowed if each account has different file formats. If you have multiple accounts of the same file format you are at risk of cancelled accounts

Why do you assume that your accounts were blocked because they contained AI images? Probably they were blocked due to violations or suspicious sales. Your course of action is to contact Adobe using the provided link and then wait.

To answer your question, we have no insight to what Adobe is planing on doing.

I have asked Adobe, but they are not replying to my emails. Also, they didn't tell me the reason behind blocking the account. Thank you for your comment.

"I even created a new account last month with AI images"

 

That wasn't a good idea apparently. 11,000 images? I also joined in 2023 and I have yet to reach 4,000 assets, and I am also 100% AI. Adobe is still accepting my AI. You got carried away from the looks of things.

Brother, it's even possible to reach 11 thousand within half a year. That's not the main issue. I was just looking for others' opinions on if the same thing is happening to them or not. Whatever, I got my answer from your comment. Thank you.

Yes, and others have uploaded 11,000 in less than a month. That's why they are no longer contributors.

Hi @Noobs Gallery ,

The rapid generation and submission might just be "the main issue". I suspect you have many "similar" and that is a cause for suspended accounts. Multiple "Similar" is interpret as spamming. To make matters worst for you, you created a new account to submit the same file format. You need to cool it on the forum and try to glean what you can from us so that in case you get your account back you learn of what not to do. If this thread gets too steamed-up you'll loose that opportunity when it's locked.

Best wishes

That's 61 each day. How long do you spend fixing the asset issues? With no sleep, you could do one asset every 40 minutes. That's not sustainable.

Image quality is essential. Have you carefully edited each of your 11,000 images, allow me to doubt it.
The quantity of images is not a guarantee of success.
I don't know if Adobe will stop accepting AI images but I wish the rules were stricter

Lol, sister, all of these were background or stock images, whatever you call them. And you're teaching me about quality? That's funny. I made over $450 per month with these images. Of course, they were in demand and qualityful. Don't be jealous.

And photorebelle is still a contributor. You're waiting to see if you can still be one. 😉

No one is jealous. Even if you sell scrap, at some point, angry buyers will complain. Doing the correct search and selecting the right asset is very time-consuming. That's why I avoid generative AI at all cost.

There is no indication that Adobe is considering exiting the Gen AI stock business; in fact, they add up to half a million new AI images to the database every week.

Not that we are aware of.

By @Noobs Gallery

==============

Sorry to hear that.


Adobe may temporarily suspend or permanently terminate a Stock Contributor account for any of the following:
1) Suspicious sales or refund activity.
2) Content spamming, using multiple accounts to bypass submission limits, etc....
3) Compaints from customers or 3rd parties.
4) Suspected violation of the Stock Contributor Terms. See below.
https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/submission-guidelines.html

Contact Stock Contributor Support: https://contributor.stock.adobe.com/contact

This matter is solely between you and Adobe Stock, not fellow Contributors in this user-to-user community.

 

Be patient. It may take several weeks for an investigation to conclude.  Check your email spam folder. If requested, provide additional information directly to Adobe Stock.  Meanwhile work on other projects. Feel free to submit content to other stock services.

Good luck.

I think I've found my answer and should summarize it. Those people questioning image quality should ask themselves: If these images were low quality, would I still get 700 less or more downloads per month? Are you saying those downloading my images have no idea about image quality? A big LOL to you guys. Two of your answers, "Jill_C"'s and "jacquelingphoto2017"'s, seem most perfect to me. I won't respond further; just read their answers.

I have a team of over 1.5 years, producing 11,000 images isn't a big deal given the timeline. I've rejoined as a contributor. Don't be jealous, "photorebelle" and "daniellei4510." I'm going to rock again.

They may also be in violation of other terms. We did not see any of your assets. But it's elementary: if you do not address whatever went wrong, you will get blocked again.

 

Nobody is jealous, why should they be. They are making their business without getting blocked each few months.
