You are also right, to a certain extent.

Images that are not your own, that is, that are taken from an image bank, are not an original production of the author of the post.. Everything that is there comes in here, including the images generated by AI.

I usually tell content creators that original content, which also includes photographs, is more representative of themselves. Content creators should know this and I think they know it.

So, the question is that not only are the images generated by AI not original, we must know and we are aware that neither are those taken from image banks...

If we delve deeper into the concept of originality, a photograph from an image bank could be an original production, but it does not belong to you. You borrow it and you must mention it.

The image that is created by AI, who belongs to it? to the AI... I guess. And it is not your creation either, and you should mention it.

That's how I understand it...
