No, the users of Hive don't have to listen to your attempts to dictate the content posted here.

If you use AI-generated art, it is not necessary to decline the rewards

Implying someone maybe should decline rewards for using or posting AI art? That's just your opinion.

but please mention it clearly in your post with a source to the tool used, and add a significant amount of personal thought - tell readers what you think about that art.

I don't see why this is necessary and reflects a limited view of what AI art is. Not to mention what Hive itself is. These opinions shouldn't be broadly applied to content on the chain. Hivewatchers' (@logic's) consistent attempts to limit "allowable" content on Hive has been detrimental towards its growth and limiting of its potential, and this is another egregious attempt at it.

Please note that any attempt to automate AI-generated postings, either in image or text form, will result in a permanent ban.

Implying Hivewatchers is anything but a joke to the chain at this point and carries some central authority over it. A permaban meaning a 0.001 downvote? 😂
