167/365 AI-generated profile pictures on X?

The lesson I’ve learned. Regarding the suspension of my account, the email mentioned that I violated the rule on "Authenticity" So I carefully went through the guidelines: I believe there’s only one possible issue—my AI-generated profile picture. I was actually a bit concerned when I used it, so I generated it with a custom design to avoid ending up with the same image as someone else. Also, since I’m a Premium subscriber, I assumed the profile picture would go through a verification process and display the blue badge. I thought that if it didn’t pass, I could at least switch it back. Although the image was approved, my account was suspended the next day. I genuinely hoped there would at least be a warning first. Even CEOs of leading AI companies are now using AI-generated avatars, so I’m honestly quite confused. In today’s world, where resources are concentrated in the hands of a few, it’s extremely hard for individuals to gain visibility and build credibility. My account has been about sharing my daily life and learning journey—it’s been going for over 150 days. It holds personal meaning for me, and I hope it also resonates with others in similar situations, offering some comfort and motivation through our shared goals. That’s really all it is. Although in a way I’ve learned something from it, I might lose everything on the platform because of a small mistake I made.
