Adobe stock is no longer fit for professional use due to the proliferation of generative AI

[Al Yonder]

The subject header says it all really.

Working on an environmental documentary series that cannot use any generative AI images.

Due to the amount of un labelled gen AI video, I'd decided against using any Adobe stock. However, I needed a few additional videos and went against my better instincts to download some previews.

Then today I was dropping some of these into a timeline and out of the ten I'd downloaded, something seemed off and upon closer inspection at least 3 were gen AI .

The responsibility shouldnt fall upon the user to police this, it should fall upon Adobe. Any supplier who cannot provide some form of proof of authenticity for non AI conetent shouldnt be allowed to label it as such. End of story.

These very nearly went into the final cuts and as gen AI gets harder to spot it's going to become more of a problem.

So, what is your idea here?

I thought that was fairly clear from the post.

Put in checks and balances - like other stock libraries manage to do - that preclude 'AI slop' being missold as 'non-AI slop.'

All assets get checked and even that the checking is not perfect, many assets get refused as being AI generated (even such ones that arn't). Sometimes AI generated assets pass through. If that is done systematically by a contributor, the contributor gets blocked. 

I agree that the checking could be better, however.
