What is the policy regarding AI generated images on the forum?

[dzungmobile]

I'm the type who always love to add images to my conversation, just as a wise man once said (i.e A picture/image is more than a thousand words), as it add colour to the conversation and makes it interesting to read.

An old school man (but not wise) said, the forum is not a kindergarten so over use images is not good.

It's not what I said but sometimes, you will see one of forum OGs, JetCash says it.

Images, graphics are good if they contain insightful information but if they are simply memes, overuse them is very annoying.

Cheers guys!

Actually, since I joined the forum, I have not seen any member being penalized for posting images without attaching the image source, nor have I also seen anyone penalized for posting AI-generated images on the forum. Through out last year, I promoted a Mixer campaign on my signature space, and there was one of the avatars we used then, which the campaign manager said was generated with the help of an AI; therefore, I don't think it's against the forum rules to post an AI image here. Unless it becomes rampant and abused, then the admin can decide to come up with a rule, but for now, you are free of bounds.

This looks cool, but seems you forgot to complete your name there... Dinero

I didn't forget anything. 'Dinero' means 'money'. Don't you see money there?

I can't read the serial numbers to see if they are real.

You did very well! We always have to ask the AI if we can use the content it creates. When he goes back, he discovers that we used it without his authorization and we are screwed. Or haven't you seen the movie "Eagle Eye"?

Lately I've been generating images with AI on a private level and for entertainment. It has occurred to me that at some point I might add some to a post but I would like to be clear that I am not breaking any rules. In any case it would be as an addition to what I write and making clear that it is an image generated with AI.

If I were you, I would still note that the image was generated with the help of AI, just in case. Given that the forum has never considered uploading images from any source as something against the forum rules, you probably won't have any problems with such images.

Plagerism rules on images are not even clear in the forum let alone adding AI images. Infact, there's no laid down rules against AI usage in the forum, it is just a few campaign managers and some forum members that are ensuring that forum conversation doesn't turn to a bunch of AI generated texts.

I think theymos purpose of implementing plagerism rule in the forum is not just to acknowledge the true owners of the idea, but also to avoid people pasting generic texts to earn weekly bucks thereby reducing the quality of conversation in the forum. So, AI images not being passed in a way that pretends that it's your personal art work will not be called plagerism.

Bans AI-generated images in any contests relate to images for submission is good enough, before forum has new rules against AI-generated images, that I don't believe will be added by forum admins.

If I were you, I would still note that the image was generated with the help of AI, just in case. Given that the forum has never considered uploading images from any source as something against the forum rules, you probably won't have any problems with such images.

It is better to have a note but without it, it will not break any existing rule.

It will be as same as forum rules on plagiarism. If you make plagiarism with your posts, to get money, it will cause tougher punishment. Without financial benefit, punishment on it can be softer.

I don't like when members are using AI a lot to generate content in forum, but I have no issues with AI generated images, unless they are a part of post with generated text.
No forum rules will be broken with posting of images, unless they are redirecting to some illegal content or content that is not allowed.

Meh. People post images unaccredited here all the time. Its never been a big deal, unless you are say taking somebody's infographic and then telling everyone its your own. Posting memes, stock images, whatever, should be no big deal, unless you are specifically taking credit for something that's not yours.

Like for instance, if I was to say "I drew this image by hand. Its a forum mod getting big mad about someone posting AI images on the forum"



then that wouldn't be good, because I didn't actually draw it. But if you want to use AI images for any other purpose, I think its fine, and the results are often even funny. It actually makes me laugh when people get mad at use of AI images on the forum.

People shouldn't get into trouble for posting images or videos on Bitcontalk. I would only consider it problematic if you try and present the image/video as your own, by saying something like, look at this image I created to explain x subject. And then you post the image with text, tables, or lists that offer an explanation to the question asked. To me that is plagiarism because you are pretending that an image someone else created is yours.

So it depends on how you do it and your intent behind it. If we are discussing something like new Lightning nodes in 2024, and I find a picture showing a table with stats about the growth, I can post that to bring my point across. What I should not do is trying to trick the readers into believing that I carried out the research and created the table.

As long as it's posted along with some other substantial content I don't see an issue with it. Just posting a sole image might not be ok, unless it was in a thread merely about AI images or something, but you could maybe state that the image was AI generated if you were worried.
