What does it mean when an art-sharing platform flags my image for potential AI violation?

When a platform that prohibits AI-generated art flags your image, it doesn’t mean your work is deleted, your profile is in jeopardy, or that others can see the flag. The flag is only visible to you. The platform uses automated detection to identify anything that might resemble AI generation, and these images are placed in a review queue. A human moderator will review the flagged image, and if it’s clearly hand-created (or manually created digitally), they’ll approve it and remove the flag. The image will then appear normally. This is a precautionary measure to maintain platform integrity, not an accusation. If you can provide proof of your process (progress photos, screen recordings, software screenshots), you can easily demonstrate the work is yours.
