Ai is slowly ruining stock websites

Just a small rant.

I work in house and will frequently use adobe stock for various small projects with a tight deadline. I usually find something on adobe stock, download it, modify it to look less generic and then I'm on my way. It's not my favorite stock website but it's included in my offices CC account so I use it fairly frequently.

But these Ai generated keep slipping through even when I hit "exclude Generative Ai". What's frustrating is that I'll download the asset and when I'm editing it in illustrator it has the unfinished uncanny edges of an Ai image. Yuck. Unusable.

There's some decent illustrators on adobe stock but it just feels like I have to sort through so. much. more. junk. to find them than I used to.
