Using AI texts and pictures responsibly: facts, rights and privacy

By the BF-Blessy team · Updated November 7, 2026 · 2 min read

AI tools are fast, but speed does not remove your responsibility. When you publish a text or a picture, your name is on it. This checklist is short enough to read in two minutes and covers the three areas where people most often make mistakes: facts, rights and privacy.

Facts: an AI can sound sure and still be wrong

AI writing is fluent, and fluent text feels true. But a language model predicts likely words; it does not look up the truth each time. It can invent a date, a law, a price or a quotation.

• Check every number, name and date against a reliable source.
• Be extra careful with health, money, law and news.
• If you cannot confirm a statement, remove it.

Be honest about what is AI-made

A picture made by an AI is not a photograph. Do not use one to pretend that an event happened, that a product looks exactly like the picture, or that a real person said or did something. If the picture is an illustration, you can simply say so when it matters, for example in advertising, news or school work.

Rights: what you may copy and what you may not

Describe original ideas rather than asking for a copy of a specific logo, a famous character or the style of one living artist. If you need a brand picture, create your own design. For text, do not present a copied passage as new writing.

Privacy: what you type may be stored

Treat any online tool like a public place. Do not type passwords, bank details, identity numbers, medical records or private information about other people. If you need to improve a letter about a person, change their name and details first.

Children and sensitive subjects

Do not make pictures of real children or of private individuals. Do not use AI to harass, deceive or embarrass someone. If a result looks harmful, delete it.

A two-minute checklist before you publish

1. Did I verify every fact and number?
2. Did I remove anything that is not true?
3. Is it clear when something is an illustration and not a real photo?
4. Did I avoid copying a brand, a character or someone's private data?
5. Would I be comfortable if the person it concerns saw it?
