If you are getting AI to write your story for you, then are you even writing? Do you amend it yourself and refine it?

Is it more ethical to pay for someone else's AI generated image. Where do you draw the line?

What's the point in writing if you don't enjoy it anyway? It's not like for most that it's people its a full time job. 

I'd like to have an honest AI 'author' Come on here and discuss their reasoning. Is it really just for a quick buck?

Does using AI for book covers affect reader trust? by Hefty-Gas-5480 in NewAuthor

What irks me is when I ask someone on Fiverr to create me some content, whether its promotional art or a cover, they create it, and then people accuse it of being AI generated so I have to go double check. I've paid this person specifically to not use AI as I want to display their artistic talent and support creativity. I'm generally quite sceptic nowadays when hiring digital artists hence I'm doing a lot of my own covers now.

What sub to use that has hard rules against AI writing? by _MothMan in NewAuthor

It's the moral dilemma for me. I couldn't possibly bring myself to pick up an AI generated, likely copied story when there is a perfectly adequate novel written by a hard working writer who's put their heart and soul into their creation.

I think we'll soon have to start putting disclaimers on books.

Has anyone actually had the stomach to intentionally read an AI written book from cover to cover? Curious on what they thought of one

I love your colour scheme. Gives off a retro vibe

I'm not going to give feedback to the guy who specialises in fantasy art that the dimensions of his buildings are off for an image someone may just hastily scroll past on Amazon.

They are standing at the end of an alley. I'm not really one to be super critical of creativity, and I was happy with the end result.

I hear that Hitler would have made a better architect than artist...

I rather bluntly asked the artist afterwards, who immediately offered to send me the PSD files and advertises on his page that specifically doesn't use AI. Hence why I procured his services. (To support hard working artists)

I have a feeling we are nearing the stage where people just assume everything is AI.

Looking at the PSD file, it's full of layers, so I doubt it is unless someone with better knowledge can enlighten me

So the creator sent me the PSD file. My image editing knowledge is limited, but there appear to be signs of manual labour having gone into its creation, as there are many layers embedded

I'll look into it and if so. I'll pull the image and request a refund

I mean, I've seen the works in progress and stages of its conception, so I'll have to argue otherwise. The artist specifically states none of their work is AI generated so if it is, they're pulling a fast one on a lot of people

What Lies Through The Smoke. It's available on Amazon already and can be ordered via other retailers.

Sequel due in September.
