As HN: Should commercial artists and designers declare if they use AI at all?
If a commercial artists/designer delivers work to a client, do they have any obligation to say if any part of that is AI generated?
.. in much of the world, they're duty bound to, since they cannot assign the copyright of a product they didn't produce (and much of the world considers AI content un-copyrightable, certainly not owned by the AI user). For the purchaser of such product, that will most likely be a condition of the commission, and could lead to nasty legal troubles for the artist/designer if someone else copies the result, the purchaser sues the copier, the courts find the result (or parts) didn't have copyright protection the purchaser thought they obtained.
