As good as it would be if everything he puts out into the world was from his own brain , mind , mouse-clicks  and touchscreen taps  ...

...well he's the first to deny that, and give credit where credit is due.

The various Digital Creations of Jonesey Boy & MrEAus are indeed an 'alloy' (mixture/amalgam/fusion) of plenty of 3rd party-created or assisted elements -

- and now AI image generators have only further complicated matters, of course [affecting the entire graphic design/visual arts industries n'all].

As of June 2025, so far almost none of his content has used AI imagery, and hopefully won't in the future - but then again, it may make copyright issues less complicated, so it can't be ruled out, one supposes🤷‍♂️.

- UPDATE: As of Nov 2025, he's altered his position regarding AI imagery even moreso. He has tried it out, finds it to be mostly a good help and time-saver, and yes, does indeed help avoid copyright breaches etc.

However, generation of VIDEO content is a whole other level of... well, "eww", for one thing. Going beyond "uncanny valley" n'all... and even more competing with real human creators in the real world, so as a matter of PRINCIPLE, he's opposed to it - but again, he reluctantly can't rule out using a little of it perhaps at some point in the future.

But so far, hasn't been necessary ---  🥁🥁 MUSIC generation however, may well come in handy, and even moreso should help to prevent copyright-related headaches.

Heck, his business name is indeed "digital creations"... (originally settled upon back in 2021...before AI-imagery "exploded" onto the world stage). Fortunately, those words don't preclude AI creations... pretty much describes exactly what they are...again... somewhat uncomfortably.

It seems we've gone past the point of the Turing Test... "Chad" GPT etc do seem to have gotten pretty close to being indistinguishable from human messages...and now the same applies to imagery/video etc - it's a worry, let's be honest.

---------------------

So...determining Jonesey content percentage-wise...take this example promo right here... (from before the AI "age")

The percentage varies from video to video, but on average one third of imagery comes from external sources, another third are done by me, the final third may come from a Jonesee or two in the future, once we get into full swing. But I at least do 100% of the motion FX, the sequencing, the pacing and juxtaposition.
