The last post I wrote was AI banned on Activerain ? I dont like to be someone that just presents problems without a possible solution. That in mind here are my thoughts on how to address A.I. being incorporated into ActiveRain Community Guidelines.1. Members of ActiveRain may use A.I. art if they are the creators of the art (you prompted the A.I. model for the creation) If  you remixed someone's created work through the model you will need to have had their permission for the use of their A.I. created work regardless of if at this time A.I. can be copyrighted and comply with already established community guidelines on acceptable materials and copyright protected materials apply to A.I. if uploading a copyrighted picture in a model and only putting a slight filter on it that's not a new ... 04/22/2024

I wrote a lengthy post recently about the Ban on Tik Tok, I wanted to provide sourced material with links for those interested to further study the topic. Recently in the past year with my research of AI and taking certifications via IBM and others I started looking into neural networks combined with the human brain via chips Neuralink and others with what's called neuromorphic computing which if you go back to that post you will see the theme with the AI generated art that I created and used on the post.  I covered a wide range of the harms Tiktok is doing to children (not that its good for adults either) there was a ActiveRain member that couldn't follow along with the post.
