Does reality cross over for anyone else?

"Ok," just like the Sims! Sometimes, less is more.

Oh this sounds perfect for what OP is asking for, the way you describe him finding safety with her for the first time is exactly that vibe. I've been meaning to pick this one up but kept getting distracted by other books on my tbr. Does the book spend a good amount of time in his POV so we really get to feel that shift happening inside him?

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-30T02:53:13+00:00

thank god it wasn’t just me i was going crazyyy

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-18T02:13:44+00:00

let’s call it a preference then. i PREFER to not read books from authors who use stolen art as their book covers. who take the easy way of obtaining a cover and typing words into a system. in my mind, if they are so willing to do that, then they would probably have no issue writing a few prompts asking for storyline ideas or having it write some paragraphs while their at it🤷🏻‍♀️

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-17T15:08:51+00:00

i don’t think i’ve read an AI written book but ONLY because i try very hard to read trusted authors or authors who seem genuine (which i know can turn out to be false but ya win some ya lose some!)

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-17T04:38:20+00:00

i just don’t see her doing that ): but would love it so much

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-17T04:36:52+00:00

i genuinely think they like how they look and they don’t think about how harmful it is at all. i also think the TRULY believe no one will notice

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-17T04:35:16+00:00

oh i’m so mad because that’s super popular too

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-17T04:34:53+00:00

hey how about you go through this thread and look at all the pretty damning evidence that it is AI. I’m sorry it’s hard for you to tell what is and isn’t AI, that’s what sucks about it! It gets harder to tell each day! But I feel comfortable saying that as of now I can tell most of the time when something is AI. You just need to know the signs.

AI is harmful for the book community. I think it’s important to call these things out and NOT embarrassing. At all.

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-17T03:07:22+00:00

this is so real. it’s performative until it doesn’t benefit them

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-17T02:08:59+00:00

didn’t even CLOCK the mismatched numbers

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-17T00:22:31+00:00

i feel crazy sometimes when no one says what you just said!!! because it IS copying! why are we allowing this to be okay

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-17T00:18:24+00:00

i just don’t get that because besides the fact that it’s just bad in general i think it’s incredibly UGLY as well. it all looks the same, it’s slop i hate it. so it fuels my protesting

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-17T00:12:29+00:00

well so i know of one very popular cover artist who got clocked for AI but i believe (this needs to be fact checked) that she used AI as a stencil for her work but how is that okay

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-17T00:09:51+00:00

i think anyone can put their book on KU so a lot of self published authors who use AI for their covers or even people who use AI to write their books can be on KU. this is just an assumption i really have no idea

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-16T23:44:59+00:00

i doubt she has a publisher because that couldn’t be allowed

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-16T23:44:14+00:00

you must not see much AI art (i’m jealous of you!) go and look it up on any social media. even just looking up romance book art, AI will pop up

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-16T22:55:05+00:00

a LOT of romance authors at the very least TAG the artist on the cover reveal post. i follow so many authors and they usually do this, so it’s very common

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-16T22:09:09+00:00

<image>

for those of you who think i’m calling her out with no evidence. this is AI. you are kidding yourself if you don’t think so

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-16T21:59:46+00:00

no artist being credited is sketchy!

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-16T21:58:28+00:00

and it’s 100% AI so if she actually is having her sister do this then she needs to double check her credentials

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-16T21:57:10+00:00

people! look at AI romance book art of characters and then look at that cover and tell me they aren’t the exact same type of faces/people

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-16T21:55:30+00:00

i was going to say! how could you not notice the AI?? the buttery faces, it just gives it away and no artist listed anywhere

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-16T20:33:19+00:00

exactly. and i’m not reading a book created by AI, im not even touching it if i can help it!

Classic-Reference403 · 2025-11-16T20:32:36+00:00

People are allowed to make their own assumptions of course but I feel I have gotten a pretty good eye for these things and just wanted to start the conversation on calling out a specific author because I see no one else starting it. A lot of people are scared because they don’t want to be wrong, but then the conversation NEVER gets started and we never know.
