Hypothetical question

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

AI art used without permission. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves content I created over the past 7 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

Illustrative response

I went through almost teh exact same thing.

The thing that gets people is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

Illustrative response

You could try handling it yourself but honestly a lawyer speeds things up 10x.
