"...it feels by the end that reality has been subsumed within the fantastic. I would be tempted to describe it as a changeling story, if it wasn’t so obviously also an alien invasion novel."

And they’re getting smarter… or Adobe is just struggling to parse it all. I honestly just wish people on here would see it as an honest mistake, not some malicious vendetta. I’m trying.

There is a filter, which I always use. It’s default off, so every time I search I apply it. And AI images appear flagged too… but this one didn’t. It’s so frustrating!

🤦♀️ I can only apologise. I applied the filters. Adobe is getting better, but it’s slipping through. When I downloaded it it even gave me all the vector layers.

Amazingly it is. When I bought it, all the layers were instantly uploaded to my Affinity Designer. There are a lot of layers!

Their gallery is on Adobe Stock. They seem to create a mix of AI art and non-AI vector art. This has been labelled as the latter. Adobe has introduced a flag for AI images and a filter, which I always use.
