I apologize for entering the conversation, the subject is pertinent.
For me the discussion is simple, HIVE is a source for AI with the immense content that is created daily. Let's say HIVE can "export" to AI, it could be a supplier.
(Perhaps the growth of HIVE is not a coincidence with the growth of cryptos with AI narrative. But this is just my opinion, I have no data to say with conviction.)
Now, if HIVE can be a potential AI supplier, then whales demand authenticity in the publications they reward with votes.
Whales are not stupid. Hivewatchers don't do unnecessary stalking.
I think that what can make the difference between HIVE and the others is precisely the richness of content.
There is always a way to get around the issue, to put a personal touch on what we publish. Obviously we always have to look for sources, before we would go to libraries, but what we present has to be original - the result of what we researched.
But that's my opinion, I respect others.✌️
It depends on the content I guess, I use from time to time stable diffusion, i trained my own model, it took time, generating and post processing pics takes time too... That's not different from taking real pictures, eventually it's even more time consuming, why shouldn't it get awarded... But again, my stake is laughable so my opinion don't matter, when I get milions hive then my opinion can matter
