Authorship & Attribution | Artificial Perdition
AUTHORSHIP & ATTRIBUTION
Artificial Perdition is responsible for the creative direction, selection, refinement, and final presentation of all designs offered under its name.
This page exists to clarify authorship, attribution, and responsibility in clear, practical terms.
WHO IS THE AUTHOR OF THE WORK?
Authorship at Artificial Perdition is defined by intent, decision-making, and execution, not by the presence or absence of a particular tool.
Each design reflects:
- A defined concept and thematic goal
- Human-guided selection and rejection of generated material
- Manual refinement, editing, and composition
- Final approval for presentation and sale
Artificial Perdition claims authorship over the final composed works it publishes and sells, not over the underlying tools used to assist in their creation.
ON AI-ASSISTED TOOLS
AI-assisted image generation is used as part of the creative workflow. These systems produce visual possibilities, not finished works.
Artificial Perdition does not attribute authorship to AI systems and does not present machine-generated output as autonomous creation.
All responsibility for creative decisions rests with the human creator.
ON LICENSED IMAGE ASSETS
Some designs incorporate licensed image assets that are legally purchased for commercial use.
These assets:
- Are used as components within a broader composition
- May be altered, combined, or recontextualized
- Do not constitute standalone works
Artificial Perdition does not claim authorship over licensed assets themselves, only over the final assembled and transformed designs in which they appear.
WHAT IS NOT CLAIMED
Artificial Perdition does not claim:
- Exclusive ownership over the concept of AI-assisted creation
- Authorship of raw AI-generated outputs without human refinement
- Credit for licensed assets in their unaltered form
- Artistic authority beyond the scope of the final presented work
Claims are limited to what can be supported by actual creative involvement.
ATTRIBUTION AND CREDIT
Where attribution is legally or ethically required, it is respected.
Artificial Perdition prioritizes transparency about:
- Tools used
- Processes involved
- Sources of licensed components
The absence of individual asset credits does not indicate concealment; it reflects standard commercial licensing practices and compositional use.
RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Artificial Perdition assumes responsibility for:
- The content it publishes
- The claims it makes
- The representations it presents
Authorship includes accountability. This applies regardless of tools or methods used.
WHY THIS CLARITY MATTERS
Creative tools evolve. Responsibility does not.
This page exists to ensure that authorship is understood as a matter of human judgment and accountability, not technical mystique or denial.
