Adobe Stock AI images all show up as Editorial

[Samantha Fury]

I'm trying to find some good images of Native Americans for a historical type non fiction books. EVERY image that I find that will work has Editoral only and I can tell easily they are AI. 

Is there some rule that all AI images must be listed as editioral.   
When you click on the left for non editorial they are still showing up. 

Anyone have a clue. 

I talked to adobe help and they said all images can be used for commercial use and I know that is not true. If it's marked editorial you are not supposed to use them as commercial. 

Any tips ideas 

thanks

Actually, AI images CANNOT be Illustrative Editorial, by definition.

I might have just triggered something in my brain. Maybe some of you can confirm.  It says commercial use on the left, but mentions editoral on the right.  Does that just mean if we use it for editoral and not commerical we can't say it's some famous Native American to decieve people. BUT WE can use it as a commerical image.  I hope that's what it means.

I can confirm that the image can be used commercially. 

Just some facts about what you see:

• the asset is generative AI, and is correctly marked as generative AI. It's important for you to know that the picture does not represent a real Native American.
• It's not marked as “Editorial use only”.  Editorial use markings look as follows:
• The message below the marking reads as follows: Editorial use must not be misleading or deceptive. Any generative AI asset, and only generative AI assets, show that message. That means that you could use the asset in an editorial setting, but you should not claim wrongfully that this is a picture of a real Native American. Your use is not editorial, so that would be OK. Correction: As you are writing a non-fiction book, I would avoid using generative AI assets! Non-fiction books are editorial use!
• The asset can be used commercially. You can use it in an advert, on a fiction book cover, or inside the same book.

They should not be used in a misleading situation. You can use them in editorial settings, however. As an example: you can use a robot picture to illustrate an article about the future of something, but you cannot use it to write an article about a specific car manufacturer who uses robots to assemble cars.

So I think the statement here is more correct: Generative AI assets cannot be entered into the illustrative editorial use only collection.
