Images in BytePusher

You've recently uploaded a couple of images for use on the BytePusher page, but I'm not convinced that they have the correct copyright status for use on the wiki – this wiki hosts only public domain content, so images that are copyrighted in any way at all can't be hosted here. Normally, things like stills from videos aren't usable (unless you made the video personally yourself) because the video will be copyrighted (content is copyrighted by default, so the lack of a copyright notice isn't enough – things are only public domain if their author explicitly put them there).

One of the images is labelled as AI-generated, and I fear that AI-generated works might not be public domain; the problem is that AIs tend to plagiarise from unknown sources, and it is quite likely that some of them were copyrighted. (Note that you can't assign copyright for AI-generated images yourself because you didn't create them – the AI did.)

I'm currently planning to delete the images in question for copyright reasons, but wanted to discuss the situation with you first because I don't think it's as clear-cut as the usual copyright situations (in particular, do you have evidence that the images actually are public domain?). --ais523 07:22, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
