AI Policy
Last updated: 24 October 2026
Cloudy Button values human creativity. This policy explains how artificial intelligence (AI) tools may be used on the Service and how we protect members' work. It is part of the Community Rules.
1. What counts as AI-generated content
AI-generated content is an image or text that was entirely or mostly generated by an AI model, for example from a text prompt or from another image. Using ordinary editing tools such as colour correction, retouching, fill or smoothing does not make a work AI-generated.
2. Label AI-generated content
- Any work made with AI must be clearly labelled in its description.
- If a file contains embedded provenance data (Content Credentials, C2PA) indicating AI generation, the Service labels the image automatically. The absence of this label does not mean the image has been verified as made by a human.
- Do not strip provenance data from files to hide the use of AI, and do not present generated work as hand-made.
3. What is not allowed
- Using AI to create fan art of a character without its creator's permission. If the creator does not allow AI in the character's description, respect that.
- Deliberately imitating the style of a specific artist on the Service, or feeding other people's work into AI tools without the author's permission.
- Using AI to mass-publish similar works or to flood feeds or canvases.
- Using AI to create content that breaks the Community Rules, including realistic images of real people without their consent.
4. Your work and AI training
- We do not sell members' content or license it to third parties for training AI models.
- Automated collection of content from the Service, including for AI training, is not allowed.
5. Violations
Moderators may label, hide or remove incorrectly labelled work. Repeated or deliberate violations are handled under "What happens when rules are broken" in the Community Rules. You can report a violation at info@cloudy-button.com.
