What's this about?
This is one of the many attempts to fight against generative AI. AI is causing significant harm to the art industry and all its hardworking people.
There are reason not to use generative AI. And it is not only the high number of jobs on the line. Facing the reality of lacking regulations: we need ways to protect art.
We must create art to fight ai, pay artists and search for a way to elevate products that do not want to support generative AI.
Humanity will lose all the skills it does not practice, such as creativity and the ability to translate it into art. (Nature, 2nd July 2026, "Is AI ruininge our skills? Early results don't look good.")
Two problems
How can we address the economic and social harm? And how can we verify that art is AI-free?
Paid artists only
One idea for reducing economic and social harm is to verify that all works of art are created by paid artists.
There are many difficulties in proving that no generative AI was used. One approach could therefore be to prove that your product contains only works by artists who were paid.
This assures that no artist is replaced by AI. These artists or their tools might still rely on generative AI.
The following label is an example which could be used in such cases. All labeled products must have verifiable IDs documented somwhere like it is shown here.
No gen AI
The absence of generative AI cannot be proven to a large extend. The basic idea is to prove it in one of two different ways.
The first option is that a physical copy exists, which needs manual labor by a human being.
The other option is that video material shows the process of creation to a large degree.
There is still leeway to betray, but it must be managable for artists to be of practical use.
