I’ve been asking about AI images on Pinterest for that last 6 months. I’ve watched some videos, seen people’s take on it, and even interviewed some people who are leveraging them for their business. But after spending a few hours the other evening diving into what is being taught regarding making money on Pinterest using AI I figured it was time for me to tackle the subject.
