Imagine spending half a day on a project only to have your client label it AI-generated.
While this can be frustrating, you have a few options to counteract their claim.
Present these results to your client.
If you have saved files of unfinished versions, share those too.
If youre a writer, present the initial outline and mind map.
Organizing sources for each section can further highlight your efforts.
As you work, link to external sources in your content.
Screen recordings provide a detailed, visual record of your workflow, capturing every step.
you could also create timestamps for different sections of the project youve completed.
This method shows, in real time, all the sources and techniques youve used.
It highlights the errors you made and how you corrected them, demonstrating the refinement of your work.

Additionally, if a client refuses to pay for your work, the video can be evidence against them.
Likewise, show your client sections or aspects of your work that AI cannot replicate.
If your client has specific requirements, demonstrate how you have tailored your writing or design to meet them.
If working for a specific audience, explain how you have carefully adapted your content to meet their needs.
This helps establish trust and prove that your work is genuinely yours.
They also record any collaboration or feedback incorporated into your work.

I use Evernote or Google Docs, which simplifytracking of version history.
Most writing and note-taking tools offer this feature; just remember to enable it.
Some tools can capture snapshots of various stages in your design process; you could save these as references.
This way, you’ve got the option to effectively prove the originality of your work.
Constantly having to defend the authenticity of your work is also a poor use of your time.
Over time, youll hopefully develop the ability to identify red flags early and say No to shady clients.
Seeing your hard work dismissed as AI-generated is frustrating.
Hopefully, you better understand how to fight these claims from your client or boss.
