Adobe Stock AI-generated images

You can leave that as a suggestion (Ideas section), but I think that this train left the station. Adobe invested heavily in the aquisition of generative AI assets and as of my knowledge, they sell well. Early additions still exposed many errors and even today, a lot of the generative AI assets are not meeting the quality standards, but generative AI will stay. 

When searching for assets, you can exclude generative AI, but unfortunately the option is not sticky. I think there is an idea on that in the ideas section. You will need to upvote that, if you want that to be implemented.

Adobe has made it a point to include a means to turn off AI when doing searches. And you certainly aren't required to purchase AI if you prefer not to. Granted, a lot of bad AI was accepted in the early stages when Adobe opened up its doors to AI. But I have also seen examples of AI that are equal to or even superior to some actual photographs on Adobe Stock. 

As for your comment that AI steals from professional artists, this is an old saw. To quote T.S. Eliot:

“Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different from that from which it was torn.”

This is where we need to go...and eventually will go...with regard to AI.

In any case, we're talking about creating images for stock. Not something anyone expects to see hanging in an art gallery. Granted, AI designers should not...MUST not...use the names of other artists in their prompts if they intend to sell their results commercially. 

I think that horse has left the barn. Adobe is selling a lot of Generative AI assets and there are now nearly 35 million assets in the database.
