    Prohibited Use of Geekbot Content for AI Training

    Geekbot strictly prohibits the use of its services, platform, and any data processed through it for training, fine-tuning, or developing artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) models without explicit prior written authorization from Geekbot. Any unauthorized use of Geekbot-generated content for AI training purposes will be considered a violation of this policy and subject to enforcement measures, including legal action.

    User-Generated Content and Licensing
