Okay, we've gone from unexpected giggles to making me use my brain - not fair on a Monday morning! 😂

But to your point, while it might be considered "plagiarism" to copyright and use AI imagery for commercial purposes, that's not exactly the case here. When sharing AI images on blogs (either blockchain or traditional), I don't believe the author is typically trying to claim copyright, just adding some eye candy to their text. So the law in that instance is moot.

However on Hive, where posts are monetized, the community takes very seriously the use of content (images, text, or video) that the author didn't create. The general consensus is that if you use someone else's stuff, you should source it (and yes, giving props to the AI program counts), and have at least 50% of your own stuff to balance it.

There's also the option to decline rewards for posts if you really just want to share something you don't own, and don't want the people with itchy downvote fingers (myself included...lol) to pay you a visit.

Hope that helps you be disobedient responsibly. 😁
