What You Can Do Today

If you’re serious about protecting your IP, client relationships, and professional credibility, you need to stop treating generative AI tools like consumer-grade apps. This isn’t about fear, it’s about operational discipline. Below are immediate steps you can take to reduce your exposure and stay in control of your creative pipeline.

1. Use ChatGPT via the API, not the public app, for any sensitive data.
2. Isolate ComfyUI to a sandboxed VM, Docker container, or offline machine.
3. Audit every custom node, don’t blindly trust GitHub links or ComfyUI workflows
4. Educate your team, a single mistake can leak an unreleased game asset, a feature film script, or trade secrets.
5. Open source does not mean secure.
