4.1 AI-Generated Content

ShentuBot uses artificial intelligence to generate video content for publishing. Please be aware of the following:

• Content Generation: ShentuBot may use AI services to generate video content based on user-provided prompts or task requirements. The AI-generated content is reviewed by the user before publishing.
• Content Ownership: Users retain full ownership and responsibility for all content published through ShentuBot, including AI-generated content.
• Content Compliance: All published content must comply with TikTok's Community Guidelines and Terms of Service. ShentuBot does not guarantee the appropriateness of AI-generated content and users are responsible for reviewing content before publication.
• No Automated Account Operation: ShentuBot does not operate user accounts in an automated manner. Each publication requires explicit user authorization through the OAuth flow and manual confirmation before publishing.

• Transparency: All content published through ShentuBot is clearly identifiable as originating from the user's authorized actions.
