RE: Analysis of my yet only friend in Hive - @traciyork

[traciyork]

The weekend was rainy & with a number of thunderstorms rolling through, and today is shaping up to be the same. But your post was definitely a bright spot in my week, @disobedient! 😂

I won't offer any counter arguments to your wonderfully positive assessment of me which more than a few in the community might argue, as I also have a reputation for being "mean"...lol - instead, I will simply say, "thank you!" for your kind words.

Oh, but I will offer another small piece of advice - as content is monetized on Hive (which is a bit of an adjustment for most coming from traditional social media), it's always a good idea to source your images, even if they're your own. For example, in a post where I share all original photography, at the bottom I mention something along the lines of "photos by me, taken with my Nikon." When I use Canva to create a blog thumbnail, I mention it as well, and when I use the Deep Dream Generator for a bit of AI magic... well, you get the idea. 😊

Thanks again for the bit of fun!

I tossed the coin and wrote the assessments on the top side :)

For the image, I used AI for the "puzzle bee".
This is a subject of AI Ethics and copyright laws if it is considered as "plagiarism" to use AI generated images for commercial purposes.

US law states that intellectual property can be copyrighted only if it was the product of human creativity, and the USCO only acknowledges work authored by humans at present. Machines and generative AI algorithms, therefore, cannot be authors, and their outputs are not copyrightable.

Do we follow the law? No.
Let's be disobedient, break the law and honor the guys who trained the AI by giving references to the AI program that we used from now on.
Thanks for the opportunity to be disobedient :)

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. 😁

The best was to ask the AI what she/he/it is thinking on the subject and here is the reply of the OpenAI :

The ethical use of AI-generated drawings in a blog where you earn money involves respecting the rights of others, being transparent about their origin, and ensuring that their use aligns with the principles of fair compensation and added value to your audience.

So, AI suggests your directions :)
