Waiting for approval...

Hi guys! I've submitted a series of AI generated images (in the Illustration category) to Adobe Stock. Unfortunately I have been waiting for 9 days for the approval. Is it normal?

    Due to the huge influx of AI assets, many of them from contributors who are uploading hundreds, or even thousands, at a time, the queue has grown to 1-2 months. There's nothing you can do to hasten the process, except be patient,

    9 days isn't long.  It could take 1  - 2 months for your AI assets to be reviewed.


    For faster turnarounds, submit more photos or vector artwork.  Focus on quality instead of quantity. 😉

     

    Slowly but surely, I think AI contributors are starting to realize there's no "gold in them thar hills."

    Especially since AI artwork can't be copyright protected in US, Germany, France, etc...  Until a human creates something unique with it, anybody can take AI and use it if they have a mind to.

    Thank you for the reply. Do you think Adobe Stock will do something to limit wait times in the future? At the moment these huge waiting times are not at all suitable for image producers.

    Yes, a couple of weeks ago Adobe implemented a limit on the number of images that a contributor can have under review. Once that limit is reached, no more assets can be submitted until some are either accepted, rejected or deleted. This cap is meant to discourage Contributors from submitting hundreds or thousands of assets at a time, which is what has been occurring since AI uploads were allowed.
