❓ FAQ

Q: What is AI Saga Arcana? Overview

A: AI Saga Arcana lets you turn selfies and ideas into cinematic multi-chapter adventures (and band-lore stories) using text-and-image AI. You own your account, credits, and projects; you choose what to publish.

Q: How do story, image, and video credits work? Billing

A: Credits are a prepaid balance you use for AI operations. Rough guide:

• Story generation & analysis → costs story credits.
• Character/scene images → costs image credits (per output or per batch).
• Video clips (where available) → costs video credits.

You'll see a clear cost estimate before you commit.

Q: Should I upload reference photos? How many? Images

A: Yes. 2–5 varied selfies (angles, lighting) improve likeness dramatically. Avoid watermarks and copyrighted studio shots you don't have rights to use.

Q: What's your moderation & safety approach? Safety

A: We use layered safeguards: rate-limits, abuse filters, and provider-level safety systems (e.g., Google/OpenAI). Artistic or historical terms (Latin, myth, etc.) are allowed; incitement, explicit exploitation, or illegal content is not.

Q: Why did my song title get flagged? (Ambiguous words & double meanings) Safety

A: Context matters — some titles use Latin, archaic terms, or idioms that resemble modern sensitive words. Our filters (and third‑party AI providers) may misread these unless context is clear.

Latin or archaic terms that can be misread

• "Dies Irae" — Latin hymn; literally "Day of Wrath."
• "Veni Vidi Vici" — "I came, I saw, I conquered."
• "Homo Sum" — "I am a human being."
• "In Nomine Dei" — "In the name of God."
• "Mea Culpa" — "My fault."
• "Corpus Christi" — sacred term and also a U.S. city.
• "Ad Infernum" — "To hell" (stylistic, not advocacy).
• "Lux Aeterna" — "Eternal light."

Words with misleading modern homonyms

• "Gay Paris" — historical phrase meaning joyful Paris.
• "Bang Bang" — onomatopoeic; not violent intent.
• "Kiss the Goat" — occult metaphor; artistic usage.
• "Master and Servant" — about roles; sounds explicit.
• "Come Together" — innuendo but harmless.
• "La Petite Mort" — French idiom; literary context.
• "Love Missile F1‑11" — may trigger on "missile."
• "Sex Type Thing" — critical commentary; title alone can confuse filters.

Mythological or religious language that may confuse filters

• "Ave Satani" — Latin for "Hail Satan," from The Omen soundtrack (artistic, not advocacy).
• "Lucifer" — metaphorical/character usage across genres.
• "Demon Cleaner" — abstract spiritual metaphor.
• "Angel of Death" — historic subject matter, not endorsement.
• "Gods and Monsters" — mythic theme.
• "Beast of Burden" — idiom.

Phrases in other languages or old idioms

• "Ich Will" — "I want."
• "Du Hast" — homonym of "you have/you hate."
• "Je t'aime… moi non plus" — artistic eroticism.
• "Señorita Diablo" — Spanish mix; "Diablo" may over‑trigger.
• "Bella Donna" — "Beautiful woman" and a poisonous plant.

Tips to reduce false flags

• Add clarifying subtitles in parentheses, e.g., "Homo Sum (Human Within)" or "Dies Irae (Day of Reckoning)."
• Avoid real‑world hate or targeted terms in metadata; keep it clearly artistic, historic, or mythic.
• When possible, include a short description: "Latin title; historical hymn reference."

Example safe variants for testing

• "Homo Sum (Human Within)"
• "Dies Irae (Day of Reckoning)"
• "Veni Vidi Vici (Victory Mix)"
• "Ad Infernum (Instrumental)"
• "Corpus Christi Sunrise"
• "Luciferian Light" (ambiguous but artistic)

Q: Who owns the outputs? Can I use band names and logos? Copyright

A: You generally own the outputs you create (subject to provider terms). Using real-world band names, lyrics, or logos may implicate trademarks and copyrights—keep uses fair and non-confusing; avoid selling merch with others' marks without permission.

Q: What happens to my uploads and prompts? Privacy

A: We store what's needed to run your projects (uploads, prompts, generated files, and logs). See the Privacy Policy for details, retention, and deletion options.

Q: Why do some generations take longer? Performance

A: Image/video jobs are larger and may queue with providers. Very high-res requests, many references, or regenerating multiple chapters can add time.
