📜 AI Ethics Manifesto & Creative Commitment

1. Human Creativity is the Core

We place humans—story writers, concept creators, illustrators, editors—as the core of every work. AI only helps realize ideas that come from humans.

2. AI as a Collaborative Partner

We position AI as a creative assistant, not an automatic work-generating machine. Our working model is based on human + AI collaboration, not the elimination of either party.

3. Transparency in Production Process

Every comic on our platform includes source involvement:

• Who is the story writer
• Whether using AI in visuals
• Whether visuals are retouched or curated by humans

4. Fairness and Recognition for Creators

Creators still receive credit and potential income based on their role and contribution, whether from story, direction, or final processing.

5. Using AI Models Ethically

We are committed to using AI models that are not trained from artists' work without permission, and choosing technology that adheres to copyright principles and open licenses.

6. Space for All Styles and Techniques

We don't just support AI-based comics, but also manual, digital painting, sketches, to mixed media. AI is not the only path, but one option.

7. Not Pursuing Quantity Without Quality

Although AI enables fast production, we still curate content to avoid becoming "visual spam" without substance. Story and message remain the top priority.

8. Community as a Learning Space

mu-komik.com is open as a collaborative learning space, where users can try, fail, experiment, and grow—whether they are experienced illustrators or novice writers.

Q1: "Will AI destroy the artist profession?"

No. Like Photoshop or digital tablets that were once rejected, AI is a new tool. In fact, many artists now use AI as a reference tool, coloring, or idea exploration.

Q2: "Do AI works have no soul?"

True, if purely from machines without human direction. But at mu-komik.com, all AI is directed by humans—whether through prompts, scripts, layouts, or visual style choices.

Q3: "Does mu-komik.com steal artist work from the internet?"

No. We don't train our own models from artists' work without permission. We use legally available models and maintain ethics in technology use.

Q4: "Why not just focus on manual comics?"

We support manual comics. We even provide exhibition space for non-AI comics. However, AI opens access for those who can't draw but have good stories.

Q5: "Are AI results lower quality?"

Not necessarily. AI results directed with strong concepts can rival manual work. We combine AI with manual editing and creator supervision for quality results.

Q6: "How do I know which comics are made with AI?"

We will include labels on AI-based works. Transparency is part of our ethics.

Q7: "Can I still create without AI on this platform?"

Of course. We want to embrace all types of creators. Please send manual work, and we will help promote it equally.
