Adobe, you should keep up to your own words!

Let's quickly vent out and share my frustration.

Adobe Stock, one of the top stock photo agencies, just sucks at their highly subjective reviewal process.

Having to wait for 8 weeks is ridiculous enough, but keeping stuff not processed for extra months is just travesty.

So here is how a screen looks after submitting work to their site. It says "... up to 8 weeks."

Now I have multiple files waiting for much more, here are two examples.

I'll keep my verdict for this AI-captured industry to myself...

And of course it is frustrating!

!PIZZA

It was up to five days before AI.
Even more, according to Adobe, 4 months is less than 6 weeks...
Guess if I am ever going to give a single cent to any of the AI paid services. They ruined many industries already.

PIZZA!

Oh yeah it's horrible for images these days. All because of their AI stuff. Their standards are also stupidly high these days purely for the purpose of adding images to be used in AI training. The thing that really sucks is that the standards for images is massively higher than it is for the AI stuff they accept.

Videos get reviewed much faster, either within an hour to sometimes a few days.

That's probably the reason there are already accounts @ Adobe Stock with more than 100,000 AI generated images.
Of people who more probably even don't own a camera at all!!!
I hope they realize the mistake of allowing so much fake shit and, at least, separate it from the real visuals when their clients search.
