Creators struggle to prove how their digital work was made
Freelance artists and other creators face doubts about whether their work was made by a person, while examiners may also want to know whether text was actually typed. Today, people may have to explain their process or rely on manual checks, with no portable record that makes the work’s creation history easy to review. A process record could provide supporting evidence, but it cannot by itself guarantee that AI or other tools were never used.
For freelance artists and writers who need to demonstrate their work’s provenance. Mentioned from Oct 2023 to Mar 2026 on Bluesky and Stack Exchange.

A lot of us who do freelance are suddenly losing even long-time regulars because 'how can I prove you're not gonna use AI to make your art now and take my money?
thats unironically the biggest pain and fear of mine is seeing some pretty art and having to wonder "did someone actually do this or is it AI
