Demanding proof from artists that their work isn’t AI is like calling a chef over to your table to prove they didn’t microwave your steak. I’ve hired and worked with a lot of illustrators over the years — and I can tell you, they're not going to jump through hoops to prove they’re not a machine. Most of the artists I know would be deeply insulted by the implication.

I proudly employ AI tools exclusively to create the raw images I use in my artistic practice, iterating obsessively to capture things I've never seen before
