What is mean?

Editorial cannot be used for advertising or commercial use?

    If a Buyer decides to use a Generative AI image in an editorial ( news ) application, they must not mislead their audience as to the origin and authenticity of the image. In other words. AI images cannot be used to illustrate real-world news situations, unless the focus of the news article is AI technology.

    So as an example I'd like to use the image that states this 'Generated with Ai  Editorial use must not be misleading or deceptive. as part of the background to add context to and promote a product

    Ii have chosen an inage but it states  'Generated with Ai. Editorial use must not be misleading or deceptive.

     

    My question is can it only be used for Editorial purposes? and it must not misleqads.

     

    Or can it be used commercially as part of a product background to give context to the product audience.

    Thanks

    I think I understand. This line, Editorial use must not be misleading or deceptive, doesn't apply to the general editorial use only status. But I'm noticing that the Filters area to the left doesn't always include the Usage Rights selection... When it appears I click Commercial Use, but in other cases, as mentioned, some of these selections don't appear... I suppose what I'm asking is if I click on an image I've dropped in my Libraries, it should tell me, like in Shutterstock, whether it's editorial or commercial? (Shutterstock has an alert that pops up when you try to download an editorial image, you must click off on that.)

    No, that applies to generative AI, where you can't take a generative AI picture and tell your audiance, that it is the real thing. 

     

    Adobe only has illustrative Editorial assets, but any asset can be used in an editorial setting.

    Just to clarify:  Commercial use is permitted?

    We have been forgoing use of images with this label, as the grammar appears to be saying that these images tagged with this label, are for Editorial only.

      Adobe Stock Illustrative Editorial images can only be used for editorial applications.

      Can someone from Adobe please clarify:
      Similar to the person above who posted, L we were not using AI images, as the sentence below the images -- can be interpreted to mean, that the images are Editorial.


      Please restate what this sentence indicates:  

       

      "Generated with AI  Editorial use must not be misleading or deceptive."

      Does that mean the images are automatically Editorial?
      Or does it mean, if used within context of Editorial, must not be misleading?

      Thank you.

      For editorial use, it needs to be clear for the reader, that the asset is generative AI.
