Key Insight: Quality Control
"Inconsistent output quality / artifact correction" ranks as one of the top challenges. While generation is increasingly automated, professional-grade "finishing" still demands substantial human effort and expertise.
Key Insight: Cost & Legal Uncertainty
Subscription costs and copyright/legal ambiguity are persistent concerns. Creators with revenue tend to invest JPY 5,000-30,000/month on tools, treating it as a professional operating cost, while legal frameworks remain unclear.
