A lot of confusion there, so let me chime in and clarify:
1. The war is not an inconvenience, it's a disaster.
2. You had at least 1 year to move elsewhere.

Realistically, he cannot contact all the thousands of content creators. Also I doubt that UG is paying them in any case. He should include author nicknames though.
Hopefully, bro scraped the content in case UG bans him. There will not be good electric guitar music past 2010s anyway, so no missing out on new content...

You give it to intern and report to higher ups that there is now "Generative AI" used in your company. Higher ups tell their friends while golfing. Everyone is happy, until their entire industry gets disrupted by actual AI specialists.

Tests are not a best practice but more of a necessary evil for production systems and/or businesses incapable of retaining their best for many years.

Two options are acceptable for me personally:
1) "Crediting" the source models explicitly.
2) Generating away or cleaning up afterwards: incorrect spelling, hands with unnatural fingers, non-sensical devices/symbols etc.

Usually people "credit" the source model in a label underneath each image or in front of a text.
