7 ETHICS STATEMENT

We strongly condemn the misuse of generative AI to create content that harms individuals or spreads misinformation. However, we acknowledge the potential for our method to be misused since it primarily focuses on animation and can generate human-related content. It is also important to highlight that our method incorporates personalized text-to-image models developed by other artists. These models may contain inappropriate content and can be used with our method.


To address these concerns, we uphold the highest ethical standards in our research, including adhering to legal frameworks, respecting privacy rights, and encouraging the generation of positive content. Furthermore, we believe that introducing an additional content safety checker, similar to that in Stable Diffusion (Rombach et al., 2022), could potentially resolve this issue.
