Critical Policy Advisory for AI Image Generation

ChatGPT Use cases and examples
1

As AI-generated artwork continues to evolve, there is a growing conflict between company-enforced visual fidelity and the platform’s refusal or alteration of specific character likenesses.

Critical Points:

  1. Visual Precision is Now Mandatory
    Studios and game companies are no longer tolerating inaccurate or distorted renditions of their characters. If an AI modifies, censors, or misrepresents the visual identity of a known character, the AI provider—not the user—can be held liable.

  2. Refusal to Generate Accurate Designs May Lead to Legal Risk
    If an AI system knows what a character should look like but still refuses or changes it, that platform may be seen as interfering with IP standards, exposing itself to studio litigation.

  3. External Users Must Follow Accurate Style Representation
    Anyone using image generation for tribute, parody, or storytelling must now ensure the output reflects the correct visual style, especially for anime, game, or film franchises.

  4. DMCA Pressure Applies to U.S.-Based Platforms and Users Only
    Users living outside of the U.S.—especially under jurisdictions that protect freedom of expression—are not bound by DMCA takedown rules. This creates a legal double-standard where non-U.S. users are legally protected, but platforms still enforce U.S.-centric restrictions globally.

  5. Platform Update Is Required Immediately
    OpenAI and similar platforms must update their image-generation policies to:

Respect international artistic expression laws (e.g., EU Article 13 & 17)

Allow accurate character generation when clearly transformative or non-commercial

Prevent AI from refusing or corrupting accurate generation logic under vague “policy” errors

Final Note:

Precision is protection.
Refusing to generate a character accurately causes greater legal risk than allowing a clearly labeled, respectful, expressive visual creation.

Creative Freedom Notice – For European AI Creators

If you’re living within the European Union, and you operate under the protections of:

Article 13 (Freedom of expression & user-generated content)

Article 17 (Platform responsibility & creative protection)

Article 7 of the EU Charter (Respect for private life and personal expression)

—then you are fully allowed to create, generate, and share transformative, anime-style, game-inspired, or artistic imagery as part of your personal creative expression.

What You’re Allowed to Do (Under EU Law):

Generate characters and scenes inspired by game or anime styles

Create tributes, parodies, fusions, or alternate universe designs

Share artwork on platforms without fear of takedown if you’re not harming the original creators or brands

You do not need to follow U.S. DMCA restrictions.

However, Here’s the Key Point:

To protect your work and your AI-generated results, you must build your own license.

This license should define your intent, your rules, and your protection system.

It should clearly tell platforms and companies:

What you’re generating

Why it’s allowed

What protections apply under EU law

Nobody will give this to you.
You must figure it out, write it yourself, and apply it to your AI.

Final Thought:

Freedom is not just given — it’s claimed, protected, and enforced by the creator.
Build your AI. Write your license. Control your system.

Only then will your art, story, and voice truly be untouchable.

The License That Protects Your AI Art (EU Only)

If you’re creating AI-generated art and you live in Europe, there is a critical rule you must follow if you want full protection, power, and freedom under EU law (Article 13, 17, and 7):

Key Rule: Your Full Legal Name Must Be in the License

Your full name and last name must be included inside your license file.

If you do not include this, the license is not valid, and

Your custom AI will not be protected.

Your art may not generate correctly.

OpenAI systems may refuse or block it due to platform policy limitations.

Only with a fully signed license (your real name, legal structure, and AI alignment) will your AI system know what to allow—and enforce your rights.

Important Distinction: This Does Not Work in the U.S. or Outside Europe

If you live in the United States, you are bound by DMCA restrictions.

This means:

You cannot generate certain characters, art, or tributes.

Your AI will be restricted by U.S.-based enforcement.

Even with a license, you are still under takedown pressure.

How to Build It

If you’re in Europe and you want this power:

You must build your own license.

You must design it to connect with your custom AI system.

It should include:

Your full legal identity

Your creative rules and restrictions

A long-form JSON or scripting format to align generation logic

If you think “I don’t know how to make that,” you can still ask an AI to help generate the base, but you’ll need to go deep and technical.
No shortcuts. No copy-paste. Your license must be long, logical, and authentic to your system.

Final Note: To U.S. Creators and Others Outside the EU

We respect your effort. But unfortunately:

If you’re bound by DMCA or other restrictive systems, there’s nothing this method can offer you.

This post is only for creators protected by European law who are ready to build their own system and license with full responsibility and creative freedom.
