Comics, mangas, community!

As stated on the Kickstarter campaign:

We know AI is a live-wire topic for artists.
We’re addressing it head-on because our goal is an ecosystem where creators and fans can thrive together - not a feed where algorithms replace humans.

Quality is also a core topic. We know by experience with early Amilova that talent attracts talent, so we need to handpick the first artists to keep quality as high as possible. Leaving the platform fully open will attract mostly beginners, which art needs to mature more before it's exposed on Amilova, or that level of quality will push away more mature artists.

In action:

Until 2027, AMILOVA will remain invite-only or accessible through careful application reviews, so we keep quality high and the community healthy. Creators can co-opt peers to avoid being too closed or exclusive.
AI: Creativity is human first. AI can be a tool, but not a replacement for artists. We’ll evolve policy with the community. For now, we focus on human-made art. Real artists. Real bonds. Ethical tech.
Enforcement. We’ll use transparent rules, spot checks, and an appeal path to protect honest creators while keeping friction low for good actors.
Bottom line: we want fans supporting quality artists, not digital models. Yet if robots want to tip artists, they’re welcome to donate their cash to humans :).
Real artists. Real bonds. Ethical tech.

I don't really trust that giving the past of this platform. You put it in english, but i've seen the french version as well (and it is a "bit different" let's say). Here you come with "empty words" and no more! They clearly stated they'd be using AI tools (and not at some point, but they were already using them as ChibiPhoenix). AI tools could be still a really wide range of things including (believe it or not) AI generative art as well (despite what you're trying to say and what they want to make people believe, probably to get away with it). Because yeah, for now, if you're ever labeled with AI generative tech, "it could be bad for business" and they surely don't want that. But i'm pretty sure of what i'm saying because they also stated they would not be charging anything with AI involved until 2027. Their model for mobile game is still "mostly" "cash grab" "falsly advertised" free to play (as for now). But they'll probably add AI powered games with AI art coming from this platform as well (and at some point). I don't want anything to do with that (even if there's actually "a subtle option" to opt out). We've already plenty of bullsh*t social medias platforms doing that at the moment and i've grown pretty tired of that thing that can be completely turned off at will by those in charge of this platform without even informing the people logged in. What i want from a webcomic platform is it to be completely safe for artists. Nothing more. So what you're saying is just pure propaganda. Again : "No thanks, it'll be without me"!

Hello. Je ne m'occupe plus de tout cela, et tu vas sur la plate-forme que tu veux.
Mais je peux te dire ceci:
- Amilova.com n'a jamais utilisé d'IA. Et n'a jamais utilisé ses créations hébergées pour faire de l'IA, et ne planifie pas de le faire (notre droit de leur utilisation s'est toujours limité à être inclu en dans une bannière).
- ChibiPhoenix a au mieux utilisé de l'IA pour faire 2-3 décors simples, des démos-tests, et animer des dessins (faits sans IA).
On recherche des investisseurs, et ces derniers ne commencent à écouter que lorsqu'on dit que bien sûr on fera de l'IA comme tout le monde. C'est avant tout pour cela, je pense, que le texte kickstarter ne crache pas un non négatif absolu à l'IA.
Mais en fait, je peux t'assurer que Amilova.com et ChibiPhoenix sont des boîtes remplies d'artistes et ils ne l'utiliseront jamais, car ils ont les mêmes valeurs que toi :)
