A Quick Note on Copyright and AI

While AI makes it easier than ever to generate content, it’s essential to stay mindful of copyright laws and intellectual property rights. Many AI tools are trained on existing works, and although they produce “original” outputs, there’s a risk that the content may resemble protected material. Before selling AI-generated art, writing, or media, double-check platform guidelines and consider using AI as a tool for inspiration and refinement rather than direct replication. When in doubt, add your own creative touch to make the work uniquely yours and legally safe.
