  • Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how I'm generating some (fairly) passive income by selling images made with MidJourney. Watch until the end for a tip that will save you a TON of time.

There is now a checkbox for "generative art" that was not there when I made this video. They now require specifically disclosing AI art. This video was created before the terms were updated.

    I did this, made and uploaded 89 images to Adobe stock... all 89 were approved (and I thought they were damn good). I got 5 sales in 7 weeks..... made $4.47. Feel like it was a huge waste of time.

    Lots of great tips here, thank you. Be careful uploading these to different stock sites however, because their rules for AI are all different. Shutterstock and iStock both prohibit the sale of AI generated art currently, so if you are an existing contributor it's not worth risking your account. Also I noticed that Adobe's policy for AI states that contributors must clearly label their AI art as AI generated. This is from their website: 'AI-generated content is offered under the same licensing terms as other sources of content. Our policy asks our contributors to proactively label their generative AI content; we’ll soon add more features to make this content even more transparent.' Adobe provide an example of a stock image clearly labelled as AI generated art, which has the following title: 'Crystals and minerals. Healing, spirituality. Generative AI.'

      @WhereIsTheSpartan Před rokem +46

      In my opinion it makes no sense prohibiting AI art. If so then post processing with tools like Photoshop must be prohibited as well. AI is just another tool like Photoshop is. As Photoshop was new back then photos and art pictures weren't marked with a label "done by PS" as well. In my eyes this is paranoia from several plattforms.

      @@WhereIsTheSpartan I agree that is where things are going. I don't think all sites are banning AI images because they are against it, but are just trying to cover themselves until the legal landscape is clearer. Shutterstock did accept AI images for a while, then got spooked because of intellectual property issues and stopped allowing contributors to submit them for now. I can see why, honestly, as many midjourney images reproduce watermarks and there are legal cases in the works that might be costly to the sites that are early adopters. Shutterstock has partnered with OpenAI, and many platforms are building AI image generators into their services and offering them directly to customers. It's very interesting watching the stages of the AI revolution unfold.

Instead, they Must edit it, correct and remove image imperfections, first, and after upload it. because Ai images are not perfect. They look perfect from Distance, but when you zoom out and bring them closer, there are really serious imperfections in the pictures, that are definitely needed some serious editing in Photoshop.

I am a Stock Contributor for 4 years now and it is annoying to see, how some people spamming the stock market with stuff like this. I like AI generated art, too. But I´m worried about the recent developments. In the last years it has become more and more difficult for all contributors to sell images. Now with these floods of AI generated images it gets even worse, because there are many poor quality images. Minor defects can be fixed with photoshop..I am surprised, Adobe accepts those images.

You can claim all the money you earn with the created pictures is in the rules or did I misunderstand?

      Midjourney is NOT going to claim any money you make for sales if you are submitting AI generated images to stock, or selling them on other platforms that allow it, as long as you are a paid subscriber. They explicitly say that you own the assets you (along with AI) generate. Yes, they do retain ultimate rights over the images for the reasons they cite, but that doesn't mean they are going to be selling your images or demanding that you cut them in if you sell the images you "create".

      2. When you use Wirestock, they disclose that it's AI art in the description. It's up to the stock photo site to approve or deny it. Although, personally, I'm just going to stick to Adobe Stock for the most part (based on comments in this video's thread) just to avoid issues.

    If you use a tool that was trained on copyrighted pictures you are violating the ToS of Adobe Stock. Many people here completely misunderstand what it means when Adobe Stock approve a picture. Adobe Stock doesn't have any method to check on what pictures the AI driven tool was trained on. So they trust the uploader on this. But if later it turns out the AI tool you used was trained on copyrighted pictures (which is like 99% sure), you have to remove all your picture and give back all the money you received. You can actually sell only AI generated pictures if you train it only on pictures that you own the copyright or on pictures without copyright (and no, just because you are not aware that a picture has copyright on it doesn't mean it doesn't have. Similar to not knowing the law is not an excuse to ignore it).
