3	Important note: USE THIS SPREADSHEET AT YOUR OWN RISK. Artists listed in this spreadsheet have self-identified as not using generative AI in the creation of their works, but their inclusion neither guarantees they haven't used LLMs nor their exclusion means they do use LLMs. Before hiring any of these artists for work, it is important to do your due diligence in reviewing their materials, asking questions, and ALWAYS protect yourself with a contract (with an AI/LLM clause). This spreadsheet is meant to serve as a guide for artists to self-identify as not using LLMs to create their works and the creator of this spreadsheet takes no responsibility for works created due to the use of this spreadsheet. This spreadsheet is not an inclusive list of every artist who doesn't use AI/LLMs, and should not be used as such Not sure where to get a contract template or write a contract? Hireillo has an excellent one you can use, vetted by actual lawyers for $49

However, it may take a long time to get added, so please be advised wait times to see your submission added may be long. Please DO NOT SUBMIT more than one time, this will not make your submission get added any faster. Google Forms will ask you to log in with a Google account only to prevent you from submitting more than once.
