We understand that the use of AI in creative projects can be a complex topic, and we are committed to transparency in our process.
AI tools such as Photoshop and DALL-E have been used thoughtfully in The Codex to support our team in brainstorming, idea generation, and initial sketches. However, it’s important to note that all outputs are crafted with human oversight and refinement.
Our skilled illustrators and historians work closely to bring authentic, high-quality content to life, ensuring that every aspect is carefully designed and verified for accuracy.
No single component of The Codex relies solely on AI.
Instead, we use AI as a supportive tool in our broader creative process.
