[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9238068, member: 18"] So when an artist uses digital tools to make a piece of art, they don't just instantly create a single-layer file. They'll have a history of what they did, which they can send you, the person who commissioned the art. That's the proof of work referred to. When AI creates "art", it does instantly create a single-layer file. That's most straightforward way to check for AI art. Now, if there's really just a "tool" in Adobe or whatever which does this, whilst that may be layered in, it'll still be in the history (or the history may be somewhat suspect, i.e. it starts with the piece nearly finished), so you should still be able to see when that was used - that is a little more involved, but if someone claims a piece is AI or partially AI, you could then check. I am actually rather skeptical that this was generated mainly by hand just with a "tool" assisting - I suspect the reverse was true, but either way, if you have the files showing how the piece was created, you can check at a later date. Re: hiring artists, you can contractually require them to not use any generative AI tools. If they then do, you have legal recourse against them. My feeling is if this becomes commonplace we'll pretty quickly see things shake out into artists who don't use it and artists (and "artists") who do. The latter are likely to be cheaper, of course.
