AI accusation response pack builderif someone says you used AI
TimeBinder adds a layer of protection against AI and human fraud and disputes. Tick what you can point to today, say honestly whether you used any AI tool, and get an ordered list of what to gather and a draft reply you can change.
Everything you type stays on this page. This page cannot tell whether a work was made with AI, and it does not judge anyone. It is not legal advice. The drafts are only as true as your answers.
Build your evidence list and a draft reply
Choose the kind of work, say honestly how it was made, and tick what you have. Nothing you type is sent to TimeBinder.
Everything you type or tick stays on this page. Nothing is sent anywhere or tied to your name.
Build your evidence list and a calm reply if someone says you used AI
Pick the kind of work, say honestly whether you used any AI tool, and tick what you can point to today. You get an ordered list of what to gather, and a draft reply you can change. It does not judge the work.
What should I do first if someone says I used AI? The short answer
Copy your files before you change anything, then gather what shows how the work was made: working files, earlier versions with dates, source material, notes, and messages from the time. Dates that someone else recorded, such as a cloud upload date or the date on a sent email, are a different kind of record from a date you typed yourself. Reply calmly and only say what is true. If you did use an AI tool for part of the work, saying exactly where is easier to stand behind than a blanket denial.
This tool turns those steps into a list and a draft. A TimeBind of a file you already hold can show that exact file existed no later than a recorded time and still matches. It does not show who made the file, who owns it, or whether AI was used.
Why this came up in November 2026
Accusations of AI use are a large public conversation. Counts below were read on 13 November 2026 (Australia/Brisbane) unless the text says another date. A YouTube video, “Real Artists are Being Accused of AI Art now..” by SamDoesArts, uploaded on 24 October 2026, showed 733,773 views, 17,529 likes and 2,500 comments. Another, “Why are Black authors being accused of using AI?” by readwithcindy, uploaded on 2 November 2026, showed 190,803 views, 5,861 likes and 924 comments. On X, a post by @Zynntexx from 26 October 2026 (1,790 impressions when checked on 12 November) argued that a process video no longer ends the debate. This page does not take a side on any individual case.
That last point shapes the tool. Process files and screen recordings add context, but they are one kind of evidence. The tool counts three kinds: process files, dated records, and dates set by someone else, and it tells you which you have not covered yet.

What this tool does and does not do
The honest job of this page is to put your evidence in order and help you reply calmly. See also the glossary entries for existed no later than and fingerprint.
| Part | What it does | What it does not do |
|---|---|---|
| Your evidence | Counts what you ticked and shows which of three kinds you have: process files, dated records, dates set by someone else. | Predict how anyone will decide. |
| What to gather | Lists what you did not tick, in an order that starts with copying your files unchanged. | Collect or check the files for you. |
| The draft | Writes a starting message from your answers, including an honest AI line. | Make a statement true. Send only what is true. |
| A TimeBind of a file you already hold | Records that an exact file existed no later than a recorded time and still matches, using a SHA-256 fingerprint made in your browser. The file stays on your device. | Show who made a file, who owns it, or whether AI was used to make or edit it. |
If your working files are something you may need to show later
As soon as the question is raised:
- Copy the working files, earlier versions and notes into a new folder. Do not rename, tidy or re-export the originals.
- Make a TimeBind of each exact file you already hold. The fingerprint is made in your browser and the file stays on your device. You can later download a Proof of Time Certificate.
- Store the files, your notes on how the work was made, and the certificate together, with the date of each.
A TimeBind shows the exact file existed no later than the recorded time and still matches. It cannot go back and date a file earlier than the moment you make it.
First Pooled TimeBind free, no card, then from US$5. An ASAP TimeBind is US$15.
What a TimeBind shows, and what it does not. It shows that an exact file existed no later than a recorded time and that a copy shown later still matches its fingerprint. It does not show who made the file, who owns it, that its contents are true, or whether AI was used to make or edit it. This is general information, not legal advice.
AI accusation response pack builder: FAQ
Can I prove I did not use AI?
Usually you can show how you made the work, not prove a negative. Working files, earlier versions, source material and dated messages show a process. They do not show that no AI tool was ever involved, and this page does not claim otherwise.
Should I use an AI detector to answer the accusation?
Be careful. Detector scores are not a record of how a work was made, and they can be wrong. This tool does not use one and does not rely on one.
What if I did use AI for part of it?
Say so plainly and say exactly where. The tool’s “parts were made with AI tools” option writes a draft that discloses it and asks you to list each part.
Is a screen recording enough?
It adds context, but it is one kind of evidence and it can be staged after the fact. Combine it with working files, earlier versions and dates set by someone else.
Does a TimeBind show I made the work?
No. A TimeBind of a file you already hold can show that exact file existed no later than a recorded time and still matches. It does not show who made it or whether AI was used.
Is this legal advice?
No. It runs in your browser and helps you organise your own records. If a contract, a claim or a dispute is involved, ask a qualified adviser.
Is anything I type or tick sent to TimeBinder?
No. This page runs in your browser. What you type stays on the page.
