Only 90%? For shame, Prodifi. The obvious goal should be to have all comics created by robots, translated by robots, and read by robots. I don't want any human to be involved at any point, except for your CEO and board of directors, of course (they deserve WAY, WAY, WAY more money than what they're getting).

AI is going to ruin the manga and webtoon industry. If everything is translated by AI, humans won’t be needed to do anything. Next thing you know, AI will be drawing manga.

I guess Prodifi is on to something being as they have now successfully reduced the time and cost of me browsing their site, including Manta, and spending my money by 100%. Good work turning your customers against you!

Haha, I see your point! Imagine a fully automated comic industry—robots doing everything from creation to reading. It would definitely be a fascinating shift! But, I think humans still bring that special touch in creativity and storytelling that robots can't quite replicate (yet). Though, the CEO and board might enjoy that extra payout! I wanted to write a memoir essay about a meaningful experience in my life, but I found it hard to put my thoughts into words. My college senior recommended Academized, and I used their service for memoir-essay which is available at https://academized.com/blog/memoir-essay here. The writer helped me shape my story beautifully while keeping my voice intact. The emotional impact was strong, and my professor appreciated the depth of my reflections. If you need help with a memoir essay, this service is an excellent choice!

Ten years too early and morally dubious at best. But the pursuit of short-term profits takes priority over any sort of product that people can be proud of apparently.

This but unironically.
