Visual Content Transparency Disclaimer
- The Artistic Truth. Let’s be clear: Opie Cooper is not a professional artist. He doesn’t wear the badge of “designer” or “graphic artist,” and he’s the first to tell you that his doodles, while therapeutic, are far from museum-worthy. If you’re looking for an award-winning illustrator, you’ll have to keep searching. However, Opie does dabble in visual mediums through a mix of AI-generated tools and pre-designed templates (services used will be linked at the end of this disclaimer). So, if you come across a striking piece of art or design on one of Opie’s platforms, you can rest assured it’s been crafted with a little help from technology and a lot of humility.
- On the Doodles, Templates, and Opinions of Others. While Opie himself doesn’t consider his work “art,” there are those who have worked with him who may argue otherwise. These kind souls, usually untrained or non-professional designers themselves, are simply being polite (and probably biased). While their opinions are valued, Opie’s stance remains firm: he does not claim to be an artist. Instead, he prefers to rely on paid templates and AI to bring visuals to life, always giving credit where it’s due. a. Should Opie’s visuals make you go, “Hey, this is pretty good!”—know that it’s likely the result of smart tools, intuitive templates, and a creative process that’s been generously assisted by those technologies. The details of these services and tools will always be transparent and readily available.
- On AI-Generated Visuals. Like with his writing, Opie is committed to full transparency when it comes to AI-generated visuals. If a graphic, illustration, or video has been touched, shaped, or entirely crafted by AI, you’ll know. Whether it’s AI creating the initial sketch or adjusting colors, Opie will clearly outline what role AI played in the process. No mystery, no hidden robots behind the brush—just clear acknowledgment of what’s AI-enhanced. a. If a piece is partly or entirely AI-generated, Opie will provide a breakdown of which parts were AI-influenced and which parts were tinkered with by his own hands (or templates, or tools, or whatever else he found useful that day).
- Collaborators and Templates. As with his writing, Opie may occasionally bring in outside help or lean heavily on pre-designed templates for his visuals. This is where the professional designers come in—whether freelance, templates from reputable design services, or both. When they do, credit will always be given, and you’ll know exactly who or what had a hand in the final product. a. For anyone curious about the templates, services, or artists Opie collaborates with, there will be a handy list linked at the end of this disclaimer for you to explore.
- In Summary. Opie’s not a professional artist, and he’ll never claim to be. But whether it’s AI, templates, or a talented freelance collaborator, every visual you see on Opie’s platforms will come with full transparency about who or what helped bring it to life.
