Hi all, Does anyone know how to filter all AI-generated images out? It's been a REAL nightmare lately. I can generate some images myself. Don't need an expensive stock subscription for this.AdobeStock is turning into a garbage. How is it possible AI-generated imagery is labeled as photography? Any advice?

    It's very tedious and exhausting having to click "Exclude AI" every time. Can Adobe please, please remove all the AI as the default and go back to making it easier to find real, usable content for our projects?

    If you want to see that filter option being sticky, go and upvote the corresponding idea: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock-ideas/how-can-i-permanently-disable-ai-generated-images-showing-up-in-my-searches/idi-p/13918799

      Whoo hoo !  Works great, but I was still able to find Generative AI assets in a few of my searches, presumably because they're not properly keyworded or titles.

        AI images should be in the illustrations section, not the photography section. And they need to be marked "generative AI" in the title. In addition, they need to have as keywords "ai", "generative" and "generative ai".

         

        To exclude conforming generative AI from your search, use "-ai" as a search term. If you get shown non conforming AI assets, you can report them here, either by posting a link to the asset or by posting the asset id.

         

        Adobe is working on a different solution, to exclude (or include) AI assets from your search. However, for the moment, the workaround is what you need to use.

          Thank you for the answer. the problem is there are loads of images that are not only not tagged as AI but also classified as photos. These  contributors should be banned from the site. I think there should be an easy way to report these images. Is there any way to do it?

           

          Here is one of many examples:

          https://stock.adobe.com/pl/images/abstract-background-of-stone-texture-turquoise-texture/570643100 

           

          This person upload only AI generated imagery without tagging them correctly.

            Unfortunately, Adobe has not provided any means of reporting such flagrant disregard for their own rules. Nor do they seem to have any systematic way of identifying such non-compliant images.
