Identify the AI generator app that produced the content (NovelAI content on Patreon)

Why this matters for NovelAI content on Patreon

• The 2022 NovelAI weight leak created a long tail of derivative models that continue to produce explicit content using the original training characteristics.
• Patreon's paywall model limits casual sharing but creator accounts can be compromised and used to post unauthorized content. Adult tier creators have particular exposure to leak and impersonation risks.
• NovelAI content distributed through Patreon typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and cross platform redistribution.
• Source attribution to NovelAI is critical for identify source app because it establishes the AI generated nature of the content, which strengthens statutory claims under 47 USC 223a regardless of whether the depicted person ever existed in unaltered form.
