How can I permanently disable AI-generated images showing up in my searches?

No, the option is stickied for me as well now. It seems they added it to their site cookies as a semi-permnanet feature, which resolves this issue for me as well. 

I believe this has been resolved for me. For the last 2 months i have confirmed that the Adobe Stock website has remembered my setting to disable AI generated images. It was so troublesome to disable it for every search before, im glad its fixed for me. Am I the only one experiencing this?

I am in the same boat. It's a huge waste of time to sift through all the AI returns. I stupidly even tried to say "no AI" in my prompts to no avail. So frustrating.

@Philip22712894tooo Okay, that's so frustrating! Of course you should be able to trust and professionally use the images you buy on adobe. Otherwise...what's the point? Out of curiosity, was the image at least labeled as ai when you downloaded it? I mean even it it was there should be some quality control. It's getting ridiculous really. 

Agreed. That asset is horrid. As someone who only submits AI (I was a photographer for over 30 years), images like this are not only a disservice to buyers but to AI contributors as well. It's a shame. 

Here is a great example-- see the below image. I am working for a hotel client under a tight deadline, they approved the below image using the preview as a reference. Now we are ready to go to press and.... the people look like zombies and the women in center of image has three eyes. The image is ridiculous, I look unprofessional as a designer, my client is frustrated, and Adobe keeps ignoring this thread!

Here is iStock's response when I do an image search. Maybe it's time to start using other stock agencies. Adobe does not have a monopoly.... yet. Any junior coder at Adobe could make this toggle happen in 5 minutes. It's insulting that Adobe can't even respond to this thread. 

Thanks! I'm using the Chrome add on now. Works great!

Currently I don't see a way to permanently set Adobe Stock to exclude AI-generated images from my searches. (The "Exclude Generative AI" filter needs to be applied each time I search.) As a company we've decided that until such time as we feel entirely AI generated images are comparable in quality to good photography, we generally are not allowing it to be used. This means that when searching, we have to find and apply the "Exclude Generative AI" filter many times a day, and when we're in a hurry or forget to do this get exposed to large numbers of poor quality AI images. Often it's not obvious the images are AI until after we've downloaded and viewed them up close, which is too late because we've already purchased them. This is a waste of time and money, and is very irritating. To solve this, it would be great if Adobe offered a global setting which excludes AI-generated images from Adobe Stock search. We are currently planning to replace Adobe Stock with a competitor in 2026, if this is not addressed by then. Thank you for your consideration!

We also need sticky filters for other things, too. 

My company can't use AI images so including them wastes my time. Same with editorial only images. It makes zero sense to show a customer an image only to have them click to license and get the *womp, womp* response that it's not included in their license. Other stock images have excluding AI and exclude editorial only images as sticky settings.
