Adobe is selling AI slop as stock photos now
(lemmy.world)
Found it while looking for some art for my home D&D game (ergo; fair use). If I follow the link it gives an error 404 on the adobe stock photo website, so either they removed it or I need to be logged in. This is the url that duckduckgo gave me: https://stock.adobe.com/images/sentinel-of-the-realm-a-fierce-female-guard-stands-ready-in-this-stunning-dndfront-portraitfantasy-generative-ai-generative-ai/571643612. If someone with an adobe account is willing to check if this is actually still for sale, I'd be very grateful!
Just to clarify, these are the requirements to sell stock imagery via Adobe Stock. They aren't stringent whatsoever (I love that they advertise "33% royalties" like that's not "we take 66% for publicity and basic infrastructure"), so it's not like this uploader was some trusted partner. The fact OP found it and then quickly got a 404 is, to me, actually a decent sign that slop like this isn't welcome there.
Aside: I'm yearning for Hbomberguy's video on Adobe and hopefully watching that madman tear them a new asshole.
