so aI art used without permission happened...

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 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves content I created over the past 22 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

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

I went through almost the exact same thing.

The trap most people fall into is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.
