I only just thought of this. I have the same cartoon-y profile pic from a foreign TV show on a bunch of my accounts, I wonder if its unique enough and worth tracking.

    So what to do when choosing a profile Pic? Is AI generated an option?

      Then they can trace it to the account that generated it. Unless its a generator that doesn’t require accounts.

      I usually just do a ddg image search. That’s how I got thus profile pic

        I do the same. My picture is nowhere to be found anywhere in the web.

          Oh, mine is. Under accounts with my real name where I just post about what I’m working on.

          Privacy doesn’t necessarily mean going dark. There are things that I do that I want to be public and things that I don’t

            It’s different for all of us, for sure. Since my job has nothing to do with the public, I’d rather disappear as much as possible. I just have an adversity to giving away my info unless absolutely necessary.
