AI & Tool Disclaimers

The Vanishing Room is a hybrid creative project that blends human storytelling, songwriting, and art direction with AI-assisted tools.

All works are conceptualized, written, directed, and finalized by JP Bantigue (The Weaver).

AI tools are used as creative instruments—not replacements for authorship.

Every element published under Spider Alley and The Vanishing Room is reviewed, rewritten, and curated by the creator to preserve artistic tone and coherence.

Tools Used

  • Suno AI — for composition, arrangement, and sonic exploration
  • ChatGPT (OpenAI) — for brainstorming, drafting, world-building, and language refinement.
    • Especially used to ensure bilingual (English / Japanese) lyrics read naturally and preserve rhythm.
  • Photoshop & Illustrator — for manual art direction, compositing, and finishing touches.
  • Notion — for project tracking, lore organization, and creative documentation.
  • Manual Curation & Editing — all final revisions, translations, and artistic decisions are made by the creator.

Special Notes

  • Some images and songs use AI-generated material purely for style or atmosphere — not literal depiction.
  • Characters, events, and places are fictional. Any resemblance to real persons or events is coincidental unless otherwise stated.
  • Lyrics, titles, and storylines remain under the author’s creative ownership.
  • Community contributions are governed by the Contributor License & Terms (v1.3), which defines submission rights, AI-use disclosures, and the CC BY 4.0 public license.
