Interesting. I used to publish my articles on Medium but then my revenue collapsed below the monthly fee I paid, so I came to Substack. I don't understand why the use of AI generated images is forbidden? I use them when I can't find something on Unsplash and to avoid any copyright issues. DO you know why they are forbidden now?

Hi Axel, they aren't forbidden! I also love to use DALL-E or Firefly and you can still use them (except when you're writing for The Writing Cooperative, one of Medium's top 10 publications)

In today's video I answer this question because many writers get it wrong and don't know they can still generate images. All you have to do is to let Medium know it was AI generated.

You have to be careful often when you use freepik for instance you don't see it was AI generated and the recommended credit also doesn't include this info.

Thanks Kristina. U mainly used Unsplash for pictures but I agree generally that its getting harder to determine, which make me wonder if Medium would share what they sue to find out. If one wants to follow the rules, should we have a way to know what's AI and what isn't as well?
