Adobe Stock Quality

[TRINOOR]

Hi,
I've been a loyal Adobe user for over 10+ years and typically don't post on community forums. However, I feel compelled to address a significant issue I've encountered recently with Adobe Stock.
The quality of the stock images has declined noticeably. It seems that the majority of available images are AI-generated, with very few genuine, high-quality photos or stock compositions. Searching for suitable images is already time-consuming, and the added challenge of sorting through AI-generated content is frustrating.
I'm concerned because the current quality doesn't meet the standards I expect for commercial use, especially when dealing with brand logos or our flagship brand. This issue has seriously impacted our design workflow and content creation. The images are blurry images with unformed line work that cannot be used.
I hope this feedback is helpful and that improvements can be made to ensure the quality of Adobe Stock meets the expectations of long-time users like myself.

Good quality traditional (non-AI) content is still being added to the Adobe Stock database at a fast rate. Use the Filter panel on the left side of the Buyer portal to specidy that you want to exclude AI from the results. Unfortunately, this is not a sticky filter, so you'll have to specify it each time you visit the site.

As a former photographer who presently submits only AI, I couldn't agree with you more. There are a lot of AI assets on Adobe Stock that never should have been accepted. But there is strong evidence that Adobe is deactiving these AI accounts on a daily basis. These are contributors who are spamming the database with too many similar, unedited assets, or contributors who have opened multiple accounts, or a combination of both. I know of at least 17 deactived in the last couple of days, as per posts on a Facebook Adobe contributors page (which has no connection to Adobe).

I've been noticing the same thing - way too many AI images.
