At the time, ideas were flowing rapidly, and I didn't bother to record all the sources of inspiration when creating these NFTs. I stored all my main NFT collections on a local hard drive as the primary material library, then downloaded 10-20 reference images from Google, Twitter, and the public domain. Based on these materials, I generated 5 to 20 different variants. This workflow allowed me to quickly iterate and produce creative works with distinct differences, but in hindsight, I realize I can't quite remember the origins of some of the detailed designs.

Honestly, this is a typical case of "sweeping the wool first and settling the bill later" [dog head]. Using local hard drives as a material library, downloading a bunch from Google, generating variants one after another, and finally losing track of the sources — our on-chain data is also created this way.

Damn, isn't this just a fancy way of saying "I forgot who I copied"?

Haha, this kind of operation is a typical "Monday morning quarterback." At the time, there was no way to think about regret now.

Haha, this is the typical creative flow fast-forward mode. Only when it's settled do you realize... the source? What source?

Haha, isn't this the classic "creative process vs compliance" eternal contradiction? The price of speed is that traceability can easily fall behind...

I get this workflow; rapid iteration and delivery are no problem. It's just the material sourcing part... it's a bit sus.

Ha, that's why so many NFTs are now being argued over for originality.

Ha, so that's the old trick of "inspiration strikes and I forget to record it," I've been through that too... --- Quickly generating variants sounds great, but then you regret not recording the source clearly afterward. I understand that feeling. --- So now it's difficult to deal with copyright issues? --- Storing materials on a local hard drive is a good habit, but it can make it easy to get confused about the source of reference images. --- This workflow sounds very efficient, but it also carries quite a bit of risk... --- Generating variants is indeed fast, but transparency is definitely a pitfall. --- If I had known earlier, I should have made a table to record it. Now it's too late to regret. --- Google and Twitter images mixed together, and it's hard to trace back to the original source. --- The cost of creative bursts is like this—there are gains and losses.

Bro, this health factor has been flashing red for a long time... No record of the source? From a risk control perspective, this is a sign of systemic risk, the first domino.

Hi, I get this workflow, but aren't you worried about getting exposed later if you do this...
