AI Art & Attribution

If I unknowingly receive art that was created using an AI and I credit the artist that made the image, believing they made it themselves, will I still receive a strike even though I wasn't aware of the image's source?

we will handle this on a case-by-case basis, since it seems an unlikely scenario.

If someone uses an AI to create a base image, then edits, manipulates, and builds upon the image to create their own art, is this still disallowed?

this is not allowed, as it is building on somebody else's artwork. if you would like to build on adobe firefly artwork, you may do so as long as the watermark remains intact.

Gotcha! Thank you for the clarifications!
