Anti-AI contracts / watermarking
I own a small boutique firm, mostly high end residential. I recently gave a client some renderings of their home (mostly interior remodel) showing the front facade with a custom entry door. They responded ‘we put this into ChatGPT and would like this’, with the door replaced by a fairly standard catalog door. Needless to say, I’m pissed.
I have a standard clause in contracts RE ownership of instruments of service, etc… I’m working on adding a clause to future contracts stating that feeding my work into an AI model is a violation of the limited use license clients receive with my service - any advice on this?
Also, I’m looking at adding an anti-AI watermark before distributing anything to clients digitally in the future. Does anyone currently do this / have recommendations for software or platforms?
AI can be a useful tool in the hands of a professional, but I’m not in the business of enabling clients to dictate least common denominator slop for me to draft and permit!
