I contend that AI will be a boon for HiveMe.Me as one can use AI to produce images that are likely to pass most copyright filters.
I used DALL-E on Open AI to produce an image of a human hand reaching toward a robot hand in the style of Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam." [This page shows all my AI creations]
The idea is not original but is a decent trope for a meme.
To make the NFT I logged into the NFT section of HiveMe.Me. The system said that I needed to apply to be whitelisted. This cost 1000 MEME which I bought on #Hive-Engine for about 0.19 HIVE.
It took a few minutes but, to my delight, I was whitelisted on HiveMe.Me. NOTE: I had applied to be whitelisted on both NFTshowroom and Lensy. In both cases the system declined my application.
I then went to the NFT minting page. This page said the that cost to mint an image was 600 MEME plus 100 MEME for each additional images. I decided to mint a total of 5 editions.
The system tokenized five editions of the NFT. the system uploaded a copy of the file to IPFS .
A funny thing about AI images: The courts seem to hold that since there was no direct human effort involved in the creation of the image, any AI created art should be considered public domain. There really isn't any reason that anyone should buy the NFT I just created as it is on IPFS for free!.
Hurray. I now can claim that I created and tokenized an NFT on the HIVE blockchain. Sadly, the system did not assign the tokens to my account. The NFT page shows that the tokens exist. It appears that the editions were not assigned to anyone.
I probably missed a step in the NFT creation process. It would be nice if there was like an instruction manual or help pages on HIVE.
Anyway, I used AI to create a meme then minted an NFT. I feel so thoroughly modern for the experience.
Personally, I think that AI images will be a boon for #memehive because one can create images that have fewer copyright problems.
AI is not completely free of copyright problems. AI will abstract an image from existing images published as creative commons or as public domain.
Michelangelo's (1475-1564) works are public domain as he has failed to renew his copyright information for the last few centuries.
AI is not completely free of copyright issues as the parties that marked images as creative commons may not have had a legal right to do so. Even worse, many artists failed to get a model release form for an image.
So, one could create an image using DALL-E and be sued by the model who posed for the work.
I feel comfortable that there were no copyright violations in the image that I created for this post.
Anyway, I am happy to have created my first NFT with Hiveme.me. I think I would be happier if the NFT showed up in my collection.
Other tribes have NFT sections. I might try the PAL NFT creation process next.
