Feature Request - Content Credentials in Illustrator

I would like to have a feature in Adobe Illustrator that proofs my artwork is 100% non ai-generated. I used Illustrator for 30 years(!) now and I want my clients to know that my artwork is done by my hands.

I’m not against ai-generated content but my clients pay me for my skills and style.

    I'm not sure how someone could bake any declarations like "this artwork was not made with artificial intelligence" and make it stick and remain authentic.

     

    People who are experienced with looking at and working with vector graphics can usually tell if the graphics have been well-crafted without having something like a credentials document attached to the file.

     

    First, there's the general quality of the artwork. The AI bots often generate really odd, wacky crap. If the assets are in vector form they've been automatically auto-traced from pixel-based results. Anyone who has seen a lot of LiveTrace results or auto-tracing results from other applications would know the look of that kind of artwork.

     

    Vector-based artwork that is well crafted will cut down the number of anchor points on objects to a minimum. Really well-crafted artwork will use more in the way of "extrema" points where anchor points are placed at key tangent positions on curves and the direction handles are going perfectly vertical or horizontal. Many well-authored fonts have that characteristic in the glyphs. AI bots won't know how to do that.

    That's an interesting and demanding request, remjam.

     

    I'm wondering how one may implement that, such that the proof of authenticity would be beyond any doubt. I cannot imagine a way that would be 100 % reliable.

     

    Other than perhaps just assuring your clients that it is your genuine work, exactly how would you like that feature to be implemented technically, so there would be absolutely no doubt about the creatorship?
