AI Disclosure

Overview

Welcome to TheWorldofKoraiUji.com (“WOKU”). This page outlines the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the production process behind the stories, artworks, and extended features found on this site. Transparency matters to us — but so does clarity.

Let’s be clear:

Every story, record, and narrative shared here is the original work of KMAP, the creator of The World of Korai Uji. These writings are the product of over a decade of world-building, character design, lore development, and storytelling — not machine generation.

KMAP is the sole author behind the WOKU universe. That includes everything from dialogue and scene construction to the cultural systems, mythologies, and emotional arcs that shape the world.

Our Use of AI Tools

We are a small team working hard to maintain the pace and quality that our community deserves. To help ensure timely releases and uphold production standards, we use AI-assisted tools only in the final stages of publishing. This means:

• Editing & Proofing: AI is used to assist with copy-editing, grammar correction, and clarity improvements — after the original writing has been completed by KMAP.
• Visual Consistency: All artwork begins with KMAP and collaborating artists from around the globe. AI tools may be used to enhance stylisation, refine image quality, or achieve consistency across artworks — but they never replace the human creative process.
• Admin & Workflow Support: AI is also employed to assist in formatting, summarising, or organising extended lore entries and documentation. Again, this occurs only after all content has been developed by KMAP.

‍

What AI Is Not Doing

Let’s be blunt. AI is not and will never be used to:

• Write stories or chapters
• Invent characters, cultures, or plotlines
• Generate original artwork or world lore from scratch
• Replace human creators in any stage of ideation or development

AI is never used to create any piece in its entirety. It is strictly a support tool, used like spellcheck or layout software — a means of smoothing the path for humans to do what they do best: tell stories and make art.

‍

Why It Matters

We want The World of Korai Uji to grow — and we want to do that with intention, authenticity, and creative integrity. That means being honest about how we get things done while maintaining a strong commitment to originality and human vision.

KMAP has been building this world for over ten years, and every corner of WOKU reflects that. AI helps us move faster, not cheat the process. Without tools like this, our small team would struggle to keep up with the publishing rhythm that our readers and supporters enjoy.
