Friends, think twice before jumping on a chain of “post a picture of yourself…” then specific instructions like “in a hat!” or “with a cat!” I read that those could be fed to AI for learning. Is it true? I don’t know, but sounds plausible and gave me pause!

Thanks for the heads up, Carrie. I have a friend whose academic work was scanned without permission (she discovered this via search). Yet, I also spotted a book with a statement on the copyright page that the work could not be used without author consent. It's all kind of wild west right now...
