## Summary

A small doujin circle leader signed up for Claude Pro, paying the standard plan, to help automate affiliate‑marketing tasks and manage a fictional female character across X, Instagram, Threads and TikTok. Within days the leader discovered Claude refuses to generate any images, even when linked through the MCP connector, and that the service enforces strict content‑policy checks.

Switching to the newer service Muse, the leader found it could produce both images and short videos without external integrations. However Muse also blocks adult‑oriented images of real people, so the creator had to rely on the fictional character for non‑adult content. The diary notes other practical observations: a “98% usage limit” warning on Claude, the ability to issue commands from a smartphone, and the need to manually run image‑generation prompts when using Claude.

Overall the experience highlights how different AI assistants vary in capability and policy enforcement, and why creators may need to juggle multiple tools to cover all workflow steps.

## Key points

- Claude Pro refused all image generation requests, even via the MCP connector
- Muse generated images and videos directly but also blocked adult images of real people
- The creator kept Claude for text tasks while moving visual work to Muse

## Why it matters

Shows small creators must evaluate AI tools not just for features but also for policy limits, affecting content pipelines and monetization strategies.
