AI rewriting is everywhere — how do creators leave evidence?

AI can remix wording, layout, or style so the output is no longer a byte-identical copy. SHA-256 will not match that rewrite to your original. Anyone promising otherwise is overselling cryptography.

What still helps

Stamp the drafts you actually author and keep. When the dispute is about whether your file existed before a later upload, a dated fingerprint remains useful. Combine it with drafts history, prompts logs if relevant, and human correspondence. IdeaProofNow does not detect AI plagiarism; it timestamps exact bytes.

• Stamp milestones before public posts.
• Keep originals offline or in your vault.
• Do not expect a hash to identify rewritten text.
• Seek legal counsel for enforcement strategy.
