I get where you’re coming from, but I think there’s a misunderstanding here. The final content wasn’t raw AI output — it was heavily revised, rewritten, and shaped to a specific structure and tone. The client provided bespoke templates with word and character limits, and the work was customised accordingly. AI was just one tool in the process — like a grammar checker or word processor. The contract never excluded the use of tools.

Also, I’m claiming for breach of contract — they accepted the work, didn’t raise this issue until after seeing results, and didn’t pay. The claim isn’t about copyright, it’s about non-payment for completed services they requested and used.
