hey guys, I have been chronically online for quite a couple of months now, and honestly, a lot of content that keeps on going viral happens to be AI-assisted. This became more prominent when Seedance 2.0 came. AI work from Seedance 2.0 models are especially really good, that it is so hard to know if they were done by AI or a Hollywood-level production studio, they are that good! Cat videos, to now world cup anime videos are going viral on social media. Being that these videos are just all AI, a question came to mind, how do you know who created it, when they created it, which model they used, and if they have any IP rights over the content? It doesn't sound useful to know that, until a company wants to buy your media, or you want to actually prove to X, Instagram, Youtube or the government that the media you created is yours or, even if you used AI it was under your control. Also, how do I know if the media is really AI? Like, you can't trust anything on the internet these days. All of these questions and the latter confusion, are what made me create this product that I am sharing it with you all: colossee.com . The core idea is simple: let creators create a public proof link for a piece, showing when it was made, who made it, and what tools/models were involved.
This is not meant to “solve copyright” by itself. It is meant to create a clean provenance record creators can point to when their work is reshared, copied, licensed, or used commercially. With AI after all, even Software Engineers are becoming AI creators as well as their coding agents take over their job, haha.
I’d especially appreciate feedback on:
- What metadata should be included or excluded? - How should proof links balance transparency with creator privacy? - Would studios/AI creators actually use this before publishing?
Also, is there anyone here who would love to try it out and give some feedback, it's like the very first version.
Thanks a lot.
