AI Usage Policy

Goal: To foster a creative environment that focuses on the thoughts and ideas of real people, while recognizing the role that automated tools can play to aid in the creative process. 

Commitments to Artists and Creativity 

  • Generative AI: Generative AI creates things based on prompts utilizing the work of artists, authors and other creators that have been fed into its database, often without express permission or against the wishes of the creators.

  • Artists Livelihood: Artists, writers and musicians often rely on commissions to achieve financial goals and creative freedom.

  • Creativity is Priceless: Creativity straight from the source is paramount and our primary objective. The human touch is priceless in all creative works.

Implementation

  • Generative AI Will NOT Be Used: Ensuring that our creatives have the most opportunities to work with us, Somebody's Heroes will never use generative AI of any kind, nor will we intentionally feed any AI bots.
  • Commissions: A diverse range of artists, writers and other creators are featured in our productions. The channel will maintain a selection that reflects our desire to ensure meaningful representation.
    • GMs and Players may request a specific artist, but a single artist will be commissioned to perform all works for a single show to ensure cohesive look and feel.

    • Players are welcome and encouraged to get additional art commissioned at their own discretion, independent of Somebody's Heroes.

  • Open Collaboration: Feedback is crucial to the design process. After each stage, we will ensure that official art requests meet the design objective and goal of those involved in the piece. 

  • Do It Yourself Attitude: When skillsets align and timing allows, we will create our own overlays, social media posts, logos, etc.

  • Automated Tools: Fantasy Name Generator and similar tools that are inherently non-generative in nature may be used to help aid creators create the best stories, descriptions and works possible.
