Fantia<\/strong>, the \u201ccreator support\u201d platform operated by comic publisher Toranoana, announced<\/a> that it will be lifting the ban on AI-generated\/AI-assisted content for certain aspects of user submissions starting January 22. While using generative AI for the content itself is still off-limits, the platform will allow technical elements like post titles, descriptions and thumbnails to be fully AI-generated (Source: Otaku Soken<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fantia is a subscription-based platform similar to Patreon where various creators, from illustrators and novelists to cosplayers and musicians, can share their services with their fans. The platform offers customizable monthly membership plans and tiers, and can also be used for commissions and selling merchandise. According to the official website, it charges a 12.5% platform fee (tax included) only on months when the creator generates revenue, with the remainder of earnings going straight to the creator.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fantia<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As a platform revolving around \u201csupporting creators,\u201d Fantia has maintained a firm stance regarding AI-generated content, which is strictly prohibited on the website. However, it was recently decided that the ban would be partially lifted \u201cin light of recent technological advancements and changes in creative environments.\u201d As stated in Fantia\u2019s official announcement, post titles, featured images, post bodies, product names, thumbnails and product descriptions are now exceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the platform still prohibits use of AI for limited content (regardless of it being paid or free) and commercial products. Furthermore, even within the allowed scope of AI use, it is forbidden to generate images\/text that infringe on copyrights, personality rights or other intellectual property rights, or create AI content that may violate public order and morals (such as deepfakes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As generative AI tools gradually become commonplace, especially affecting online creative spaces, it seems like many content platforms are having to take measures in order to regulate their content while also \u201cbeing mindful\u201d of industry trends. For example, adult manga website Fanza Doujin recently had to tighten their regulations <\/a>related to AI-generated content to prevent oversaturation on the platform, limiting AI uploads to only three per month per creator. On the other hand, as concerns rise about original content being used for AI learning, an independent developer recently announced TEGAKI<\/a>, an artist-oriented social media platform with strict AI-generated content and AI-learning bans, and even an authentication system for hand-drawn art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
