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

I've noticed very poor quality AI-generated images showing up in my Adobe Stock searches. The only way to filter these out is to manually select a box "Exclude AI-generated Imagery" every single time I do a search. If I begin a new search it defaults back every single time to include AI-imagery.

 

I cannot use AI-generated imagery in my work as a designer. I am against the concept of it, and it's decimating the creative industries. Also, the images are horrible quality and not professional.

 

I need a way to permanently disable AI-imagery showing up in my searches. Adobe, can you please add this as a function to my account?

 

I also hope more creatives speak up about this in the comments below. I am considering leaving Adobe as a customer if they continue to push poor quality AI-generated content on their site.

There is no sticky option for any filter in Adobe stock. But there is an idea of the same with already hundreds of upvotes. Make sure to join that one and upvote.

 

Someone also created a small add on for chrome, to set the filter each time you visit Adobe stock. If I find back, I will post the link here.

This seems like a good idea. Be sure you vote on the original post. More votes means more likely to get the attention of the Adobe product manager who decides which features get implemented.

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.

I can't see the 3 eyes at my resolution and screen brightness (plus the
image is rather backlit and ignoring some basic photography rules). But it
wouldn't surprise me - I accept what you are saying. Fortunately the AI
engine didn't provide 3 arms or whatever. Sometimes it nails it pretty
good. Then there are other times ...

I also like 🤔 the disappearing shadows (compare shadow length for
different objects) and curving reflections (woman in the centre). I think
the AI sun's rays are smoking something: might be another Carrington Event
or EMP.

Yep - I agree with you. I know it's bad even without me having a
professional photography background.

@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.
