[ SLANG ][ CREATOR_ECONOMY ][ PREDICTIVE ]
A forecasted term for a creator or platform-level setting that outright prevents any AI system from generating synthetic content using a specific person's likeness, functioning as a hard opt-out rather than a claims-and-takedown process after the fact.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"She enabled a likeness lock the moment platforms started offering it, tired of filing claims after the fact."
LORE & ORIGIN
A predictive term blending 'likeness' with 'lock,' anticipating a name for a preventative, always-on protection setting as reactive likeness claims proved too slow to stop rapid synthetic-media spread.
