I probably should admit that I have a HIVE account which I grew to 6K HIVE.

I created several communities prior to the Justin Sun kerfuffle. I also helped create tribes on Steem-Engine and HIVE-Engine.

Steem-Engine went bust.

So, I know for a fact that everything changes when one's account starts giving $0.02+ in SP awards. For example, I would have upvoted your reply on HIVE.

AI Images

I have mixed feelings about AI images. I was really sad to see that there were no #inktober posts on SteemIt in 2023. So, I decided to play a game in which I drew images for HIVE and posted AI images on SteemIt.

Generating an AI image a day was fun. Drawing a picture a day really taxed me. Of course I am not an artist.

About 20 people played the Inktober game on HIVE. Some did AI images. For this reason, I thought the AI images were tasteless.

I was the only account that posted with the tag in 2024. So, it was not tasteless.

Putting AI Images in a Community

I don't think I would want to put the AI images in a SteemIT community. I figure the best place is my blog.

I see that there were communities for AI images, NFTs and even memes on SteemIt. They seem to be dead.

I admit I am doing the images on SteemIt just to see what would happen. The technology has some value as posts need images and AI generates compelling images.
