Curious what yours look like?
This is what I’m doing.

I guess I’m second guessing myself to style/size for the designation.

I don’t use AI for covers but will soon. This looks really awesome, simple and professional. Thanks for sharing.

I don’t know any more than the next person but my understanding of the situation is that the disclosure needs to specifically state in whatever words that the/any characters are AI generated and not a real human, because the law isn’t about AI content in general, it’s specifically about AI characters vs real humans. A general AI warning could mean anything from you used AI to fix lighting issues, you used AI to combine multiple real images, you used AI to combine a photo of real human model with a fake generated background … This law is to make it clear that it’s not a real human endorsing/modeling the product and doesn’t seem to be concerned with any of those other gray area. . So my opinion is the disclosure needs to say something like 'AI-generated model".
Outside of the legal area - just putting “AI Generated” on the cover, that can lead people to believe your art/design itself was AI generated. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t, but for people using not-AI art, you certainly don’t want people thinking it is just because you used AI to make a cover “ad”. So a warning the specifies the human in this mock-up is not real and leaves it at that … is actually better I think despite it taking up more space on the image.

agreed – and I’d invite him out for a root beer any day – (if he were real, of course).

Based on the advice below, I think your fix is very simple – just add the word “model” and it will still look just fine.

“AI Generated Model” does seem like the best wording.

Mine, posted on June 8th, say “AI Model” but are probably overkill as far as size go. Once I see how everyone else is doing theirs, I’ll probably redo them. I only have about a half dozen examples–all on the religious scarves pages here.

Looks great. Super professional. Add Col’s suggested change and it’s perfection.

What are people doing for AI generated people used as placeholder images?

I agree about the AI Generated. My Zazzle products are not AI generated, Just the Pinterest Pins and Zazzle cover photos. So I put Advertisement AI Generated or Cover Photo AI. Generated. https://www.zazzle.com/100th_birthday_purple_floral_flat_thank_you_note_card-256870423356329225

So if I have a Birthday Party Save the Date (or an invitation) for example with an AI generated photo of a lady, I still need to mark that cover photo as an AI generated or only if the cover photo itself contains an AI generated person?

These covers are great and the labels look good to me. I use photoshop and I actually have just started using a label stating that the mock up is made in photoshop!
Can anyone share which AI they are using? Thanks for your time.

@Cat I didn’t think this law included placeholder images, since they don’t represent an actual “performance.” I’ve read that the law is aimed at AI-generated images that mimic human performances, such as a model holding or wearing a product. It also applies to parts of a person like a hand, and even blurred people in the background. I’ve added “AI-generated model” text to images with all of these. I’m not sure if this applies to temporary placeholder photos on products like business cards, ID badges, or wedding invitations, where customers are forced to replace them

That looks very nice, too.
Thanks everyone, this is really helpful information from all sides. I create my own art but do use AI for the cover photos and Pinterest etc. I have one question about the placeholder photos. Do you think the AI generated model should be on the actual photo itself or just the cover photo (if both are AI generated models)?

You should really read the New York law that is driving all this. Everyone seems to have their own interpretation of it. I think everything using AI needs to be explicitly tagged. I only use AI on advertising like Pinterest Pins and Zazzle Cover photos. So I include disclaimers. Cover Photo AI Generated. I don’t want customers to think my designs are AI generated.

I disagree. Place holder images are very much advertising. We all know the right (or wrong) photo really affects sales. That makes it advertising. I admit that I am playing it very conservatively, This isn’t about having an item unpublished by Zazzle, this is about the state of NY imposing hefty daily fines.
