#2Nice concept, just don't expect to have any copyright to the (images in the) comic, as the USPTO has mentioned [0]. If you used an AI text generator as well, expect to not have copyright to that either. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, copyrights and patents are inherently anticompetitive.

#3How does it handle having to generate the same character in multiple consecutive panels?
Can I define that character once and refer to them later, e.g. “John is looking at his phone”?

What if the human author considers the AI as a tool and does not credit the AI in any way?

#5How does this create consistent characters between frames?
My understanding was that this is very hard to do reliably without dreambooth style fine tuning, which is expensive and slow

#6Mobile now so can't play with it Looks interesting. Does this only support manga or are Bande dessinée artists styles also possible?

There's the rub, isn't it? At a certain point of AI progression, if you don't point it out, no one would know it's AI, as it's indistinguishable from a human creation. Even tools based on AI to detect AI creations will themselves succumb to the fact that the generator AI can use the information gleaned by the discriminator AI to improve; this is in fact how generative adversarial networks work.
I wonder if soon in the future highly skilled humans will have to prove their works weren't made by AI.

Simplest way is to use celebrities. You can mix them like "HenryCavillKeanuReeves" "KeanuReevesEmmaWatson" switch races/gender etc. since the model's training data contains lots of celebrities, it would be able to produce consistent images

Lengthy copyright may be uncompetitive, but the absence of it would also be surely? If I create something and an already large business can just take it and use it without any recompense, doesn't that merely entrench their market position?
Can you explain your reasoning?

Simplest way is use celebrities, mix them together, switch their race/gender etc.
