AI sloppers (is that a term?) crying that their prompts are being stolen is more beautiful than anything AI could produce

Tired of the Prompt Thieves in the Al art community.
Seriously, the moment a great prompt is public, someone immediately copies it, shares it, and pretends it's their own genius work.
It's not about gatekeeping, it's about
giving credit where it's due. Stop stealing and start creating! #PromptStealer 1/2OscarAl

Never do this:
Passing off someone else's work as your own.
This Grok Imagine effect with the day-to-night transition was created by me — and I'm pretty sure that person knows it.
To make things worse, their copy has more impressions than my original post.

@Artedeingenio
I don't know what you think, but this seems a bit unfel to me.
My original post with the Saori Kido Athena prompt has 4,000 impressions, while @dvorahfr's post with an image created with my prompt has 30,000.
As for not quoting me as the author, I'm not saying anything, because she has apologised.
I would like to understand that it was an unintentional mistake, although I think I'm well enough known around here to use a prompt of mine without knowing it's mine.
If I wasn't so well known, would there have been a rectification? I am afraid that many small accounts are stolen on a daily basis and nothing happens.
But for a copy to be more widely distributed than the original is a very bad symptom.
Without focusing on anyone, I think that some big accounts hardly create original content and just post other people's content, often without quoting the author, and that's very uncool.
Respect and honesty above all else. Let's play fair.

In Seattle you pay a bag fee if you don’t bring your own- at every store. Everywhere should do this.

We’re not running out of good ideas, but the tech fetishists who have no ideas other than “but I put a lot of money and emotion into this basket” always do, and their narcissism does not allow them to consider that their failed ideas suck, and the flop sweat is palpable.
A graphic for a Vox article saying, literally, “America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?” Then the lede is, “We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.”

We recorded an episode of @drawingadialogue.bsky.social where remus talked about the AIDS quilt and cartoonists who were involved in AIDS activism, I learned a lot in this episode and it's one I think back on often: comicarted.com/blog/2022/8/...

Starbucks closed their super famous tourist destination Reserve Roastery in Seattle in September with no notice to retaliate against unionized workers. Don’t cross the line! (Plus we never stopped boycotting for Gaza RIGHT? 😇🧐)

I decided to donate to Ohio food banks while I can since I know my home city & state are not as fortunate. Here’s the one my mom recommended, please let me know of others! greaterclevelandfoodbank.org

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models. OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so. A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.
