- Use of AI
OOTP is a creator-led project developed by Michael (M.L.Remy) and produced under Curatorfy Studio. While this project uses a variety of creative tools—including artificial intelligence—our core goal remains the same: to deliver a high-quality, culturally rooted, speculative fiction experience that honors original world-building and artistic integrity. What Was Created Using AI Tools: To prototype and visualize elements of the Yorubaverse, the following AI tools were used during the concept development phase: • Midjourney / DALL·E – for early concept art and visual tone boards used in character profiles, location inspiration, and pitch visuals. • ChatGPT (OpenAI) – for outlining narration scripts in social posts, pitch deck phrasing, and stretch goal formatting. • ElevenLabs – for sample voiceovers used in teaser trailer content and the visual narration prototypes. These tools were used to assist in prototyping and vision-setting only. All final illustrations, editorial work, and print materials (e.g. cover design, coin production, character art, and physical items) will be completed through original work by M.L. Remy and other human collaborators. What Is Original / Human-Created: • The full book manuscript was written by M.L. Remy. • Final print materials, including the book, coin, map, and apparel, shall be hand-designed or enhanced by hired artists. • Original lore, character development, story structure, and cultural references are independently created and not derived from AI datasets. • A full list of human contributors (designers, editors, cultural advisors) will be credited as the project enters final production. Why We Used AI: We used AI tools to accelerate early visualization and formatting needs, allowing me, the creator, to focus on world-building and story development. These tools helped us test tone, layout, and presentation without replacing human effort or ownership.
