Although using AI pictures can be nice, sometimes it can get annoying for some niches when the products are 'not real', in my case I get a lot of comments when I share a post on Fb that contains an AI picture.
Now, as "Jay" would say on the "other platform", I am not a lawyer, so I am not sure if using a picture in this way can still be copyrighted, but I have found another way to use pictures from Pinterest on your blog.
This could be interesting for my niche, when I want to look for dollhouse furniture plans.
When I search the keyword 'dollhouse furniture plans' on the search bar from Pinterest, I found a pin that leads to this https://www.pinterest.com/pin/912893786941880073/
You just click on the three dots above the pin, and then you can embed the code of the image on your website.
This is a very nice solution for me when I'm looking for very specific things in my niche, like these plans, and I don't have the time or knowledge to create these types of pictures myself or when AI is limited.

When I first checked out the various mediums, I went through the TOS and discovered that sharing images found on that individual platform, were only to be shared WITHIN the same platform, and not shared outside of the platform.
Now, I suppose that attributing the image's origination may help, but in an 'ask for forgiveness, rather than ask for permission' kind of way.
Pinterest has provided a way to share by 'pinning' the inage to your social media or website, as a way to bring the viewer back to the source, Pinterest.
Although it's written in their TOS, I've never heard of anyone being penalized for sharing images outside of the originating source location.
It was a couple of years ago when someone asked a question at WA that I decided ri see what these ither venues said abiut sharing images found on their platform.
I was surprised at how they all agreed that sharing for your own benefit, ie, calling the image your own, was not acceptable, yet, nothing mentioned about upholding the ruling.
Just my early a.m. thoughts...grin.

@rudy thanks Rudi for the clarification.
I just started to use the embed code for a new article,and it inserts the author and a link to the pin, so there shouldn't be a problem doing this, just like Youtube embedding 🙂

@rudy Do you know where you read that? I'd be curious to read it in Pinterest TOS.
@ohnoo_not_her We do / did this for one or two of our sites, where we embedded pinterest pins into our articles. Like you said, it's basically just like embedding a YT or even IG or Twitter (X) post. I'm actually surprised that it would be against Pinterest rules, but I may have to investigate further to see what they actually say.
Hey, Andy, sorry for the delay....
I went through their TOS, and I could not find any declarations re use of Pinterest images outside of the platform, with the exception of 'pinning'.
Perhaps they changed the wording, or I read it wrong....😎
