I have been uploading AI generated historical portraits of my ancient ancestors

Ian8662

However, another user keeps deleting them completely from the memories section. How can this issue be addressed? (I have reached out to the user concerned inviting his input on the portraits and offering to make adjustments to them.)

Ian, to help with that, can you answer the question I asked you here

@sc woz When you split this topic from the original thread, you left behind a couple of comments that were specifically responding to the question you have moved to this new thread. Could you please move those comments to be here in this new thread?

Here are the links to those comments:

It's impossible for another user to delete pictures that you uploaded. What may have led you to think this happened is one of three possibilities:

A FamilySearch administrator deleted your pictures.

Another user detached the Memories from the person profile you had attached them to. In this case, there will be an entry in the change log for that profile. But the photo you uploaded will still be in your Memories Gallery.

If you're talking about a portrait, then any other user might have removed or replaced the portrait. Unfortunately, these actions create no entry in the change log for the affected person profile. But the associated Memory you uploaded will still be safely on your Memories Gallery

I am confused at where these images are coming from but you may not have the lisence to use those photos.

@jamiehadlock AI images typically cannot currently be copyrighted as they lack human authorship. However, users of generative AI could be subject to claims of IP infringement, as these platforms are widely trained on copyrighted works without the permission of the copyright holders of those original works.

The key thing here is whether FS changes its memory upload policy to reflect the relevant suggestions passed to them by @AmberML1 (see the original post linked at the top of this one, which was split from it).

Amber, @RaniM's point above re AI image copyright etc. would be an excellent addition to your discussions with those responsible for the policy.
