The problem is probably that you submitted generative AI and there is a backlog. Adobe is working on the issue by limiting the number of assets someone can have in the moderation queue.

If they are Generative AI illustrations you can expect to wait 1-2 months for moderation. Meanwhile, confirm that you have followed ALL the guidelines for category, titles and keywords or they will be rejected as soon as the Moderator sees them.
Yep, this is it. I have about a 85% acceptance rate for my (i feel weird even calling it mine) AI work but because of the large amount of assets some folks are cranking out, review time has gone from 24-48 hours to about 2 weeks on average, sometimes a month or longer.
It's been approximately 3 weeks since I had anything approved/denied in under two weeks. Does that make sense? 🙂
I currently have about 165 images waiting for moderation, and the oldest in that batch are about three months old. That group were portraits initially uploaded in late 2022 but they weren't kicked back to me for missing releases until three months ago, at which point I attached the releases and resubmitted. And now they wait.
Sounds you put more effort into your AI "creations" that others who upload thousands at a time. Have you had any sales of those accepted AI assets yet?
Yes, I have sales every day. Several hundred sales so far – 350 so far in 2023 and I don't know how many in 2022. I have about 1200 images accepted since late 2022. I probably spend between 10 minutes and 2 hours color correcting, editing, cleaning up in lightroom & photoshop, and get – if I'm lucky – maybe a single "keeper" out of every 200-500 images generated.
Thanks for the update. In the forums we only ever hear Buyers complaining about the crappy, poor quality, improperly labelled images they come across. And there are apparently many Buyers who wish Adobe had never "polluted" their database with Generative AI assets. So it's interesting that there are good assets that are selling regularly.
Thanks for your answers. Yes, it is generative AI. I agree there is a big difference in quality in generative AI, some are WOW and some are crap, but then again, there's also different quality in traditional art and photography. I also think the buyers complaining about AI art on stock photos are the same people who are afraid of the new AI technologies in general.
Joshua, you can call them yours. You thought up the prompt for creating the pictures, chose which of the results are best, probably had a laugh about some of the bad results, edited them...
The AI doesn't create anything without a human telling it what to do.
