AI Artwork Canonicity and Copyright/Disclaimers

I have largely employed Artificial Intelligence to help illustrate crucial scenes from my series, although it is only a placeholder until I have the means for a more permanent solution. However, AI image-generating technology is still advancing; it is nowhere near perfect. As a result, even while heavily photoshopping my images, it is impossible to make the AI images perfectly resemble the scenes in the Interitus series. Because of this, all artwork anywhere in this blog should be considered non-canon to the Interitus series. It is instead only an illustration to help form the multimedia experience. If there is a discrepancy between the words in a passage and the accompanying image, trust the words; those are correct. Due to the limitations of AI image-generating at this time, some images have very low quality. This is especially true with hands and faces, so I ask that you not look too closely at the images. You will also (constantly) notice inconsistencies in the characters. At this time, AI technology does not have a way to produce consistent characters. This will (hopefully) be remedied when I find a more permanent solution, by which I mean having the resources to employ a human artist.

Furthermore, I do not own any AI-generated image posted on this blog. Because they are AI-generated, the images are an amalgam of countless images across the internet (reimagined across genres and styles) through algorithms I cannot realistically reverse. It is impossible to properly credit the artists who made this possible. Though on that note, I generally prompt the AI such that it mostly learns from older images and older works of art, simply reimagining them through a more modern lens. The images are then heavily photoshopped in order to be mostly-consistent with the story. 

Do keep in mind, however, that the words in this blog and the Interitus characters are the intellectual property of the creator (me). The images may be artificially generated, but the story itself was not generated by any machine on any level.

Another note: AI image-generators are very poor at creating images of people with darker skin. The characters in A World without Misery live in a different world (Agridei), and I could tailor their appearances from my head to match something that the AI can generate. Except for Vaida's burns, of course; that's all photoshop. For anyone who knows the Interitus universe, you can expect to see the usual (extremely diverse) cast once Book 1 (and beyond) begin.
