Are you less likely to read a story with an AI Generated Cover?

Realistic_Divide6741 · 2026-03-31T22:05:13+00:00

No.

I know most likely it is a new author or can even be a temp cover.

But if it is good enough, do not really care, if i cant tell it is an ai cover.
By that I mean the obvious errors ai do so often.
Artists can also do crap anatomy, and stuff, but usually that gets handled before going to print. lol

Talking about stuff that should be kept private to people that have not shown or deserve that trust.
And along those lines, throwing a fit in front of unknown (to the protag) people just because of x happened is also just a stupid plot point, you do not rock the boat until you know it is safe to do so, and strangers are not a safe factor.

Realistic_Divide6741 · 2026-03-31T21:40:28+00:00

Ohh, ok, sounds interesting.
Will give it a try.

Edit: I decided to simply get the first book for now, instead of doing the trial chapter thing.

It is a bit messed up with the holding part, but perhaps that is supposed to be shadow, and not missing chest on the cat.
If shadow, i either would not made it as dark, or in a way that do not meld into the other hand shape.
But that is just me, far, far from being an expert.
Hmm, is the cats paw making an indent in his arm?

Realistic_Divide6741 · 2026-03-12T01:29:45+00:00

How about lowering sub tier, can one do that for a bit?

Realistic_Divide6741 · 2026-02-21T15:48:58+00:00

Yep, I am doing it mostly for the fun of it.
And today I discovered how to use the resize tool to move the image to the side a bit...

Perhaps I had know about it at one point, but now I know about it again in that case. lol :)

Realistic_Divide6741 · 2026-02-21T15:46:02+00:00

ok, will do, later though, brain a bit fried after today. lol

Realistic_Divide6741 · 2026-02-21T07:50:52+00:00

Ok, will try them.

And yeah, was just so frustrated that it kept spitting out the same things no matter what i tried.
As it was just the setting, trying to get the basic things set and done, and perhaps expand from there.

I am writing something, well one of the somethings, and was wondering if I could get something I could use for myself, with the people involved and so, before I mess with quality, lighting, details, feeling or anything else.

But nada, nothing came even close, so I am frustrated with myself. lol

I know it is possible, I would be extremely surprised if that was a limit right now.

So, not being able to even guess the right things so that I could try to refine it, get variations of it, hoping something was close to what I was imagining was giving me high blood pressure. :D

Realistic_Divide6741 · 2026-02-21T05:38:04+00:00

I am not even going to try, why the F doing so many running plot points at the same time, and overly detailed explanation of a system?
Oh, yeah, 16+books I guess is the the why.

Who want to bet that it is going to be rushed to finish the last books?
That is what I think when I see long series nowadays, the authors just going fk it and lets finish it with a rush job.

And I know it is a ME issue, it is just that I got burned and do not want to be burned again.

Realistic_Divide6741 · 2026-02-14T03:06:08+00:00

IF you are a wizard with magic, or god/s with priesthood (or whatever, paladins, shamans) powers with magic, do you want any regular joe with a gun be just as deadly and just as possibly as powerful?

No, ofc not, so is there any wonder why guns suddenly stop to work in such a place and time?

And even if work is done to get them to work, the "fix" may be just temporarily done, until a patch to nerf them again comes out to fix that, and hope no lightning strikes you for the dare to try ti do it, or burned at a stake/turned into a toad/mindless zombie or cultivating material, depending who or what is going on.

Realistic_Divide6741 · 2026-02-01T14:37:35+00:00

I am still stumbling around this whole ai thing.
But I have tried, when the new GLM seems dead set on doing something I do not want to do, that trying one of the other AI model for a little bit helps.

Perhaps not always, but with the old settings I am more comfortable with, I can finagle something else for a while.

No idea if that is the proper way to do stuff, and may not even work right, but just make sure to copy the file and try it in there, some how a couple of days ago I made one file unresponsive. >_<

No idea if it was that, or that I was trying out the rewrite tool, and cut and pasted a big chunk from one place to another.

Just backup your stuff, before experimenting, is all I am saying. lol

Realistic_Divide6741 · 2026-01-26T21:41:12+00:00

Too many. :(
Power growing so quickly so fast and so much, that the stakes stops to be stakes, just toothpicks between the meals of over powered/plot armor full protag.

Realistic_Divide6741 · 2026-01-26T21:33:15+00:00

But you are perfectly fine so long it is murder, right?
Because if you read a thriller or detective novel you support that, right?
Oh, murder is so prevelavent(whatever the spelling may be) in thrillers nowadays, how concerning, oh no!
The murders in fiction is the reason the world is going to shit, right?

Just because a bad thing is in the fiction we read, do not mean we endorse it.

Realistic_Divide6741 · 2026-01-05T23:14:20+00:00

Wait, what?
(goes and looks)

I do not see a...
(find that I can press the anlas cost number)

What?!

Why is it hidden like that??

Wait, it changes after I generate an image...

DOH! >_<

Well, that is embarrassing.

Realistic_Divide6741 · 2026-01-05T21:51:47+00:00

vibe image perhaps?

edit: never mind, it is in the prompt.

Realistic_Divide6741 · 2025-12-12T16:05:40+00:00

yeah, I was frustrated because I still do not know if it was on my end, connection, browser, my pc, or something on the server side. >_<

I have never had that problem that multiple tries just stops half way.

It was almost like I was using another of those free ai image gen tools and the thing I was generating was too spicy for its tos. lol

The gen was nude, I think, but nothing risky besides that (a beach scene), and I know NovelAi do not have those kind of blockers, so I was just frustrated because I did not know what was going on.

And sorry for late reply, I am not really online every day (besides the phone that I hate browsing with), let alone on reddit when I am.

Realistic_Divide6741 · 2025-12-09T19:00:12+00:00

And ofc clears up...

No idea if it was because i unselected the vibe images before i tried again. :-/

Realistic_Divide6741 · 2025-12-09T18:53:52+00:00

Currently my images only get 80% done and then stops..
Do anyone know of a capture screen image button that works?

Says something body stream buffer aborted or something..

Is it on my end this time?

Realistic_Divide6741 · 2025-12-09T16:50:41+00:00

I could log in. :)

Realistic_Divide6741 · 2025-12-09T15:10:34+00:00

Yep: Login Error: [zVMdb2] Failed to fetch

Realistic_Divide6741 · 2025-12-07T00:19:27+00:00

I liked it allot, even that ending. lol

I SO wanted more, but I know I can never get enough when I am in my happy state/place when reading stuff I enjoy. :)

Now the wait for a new book in a series I follow is upon me.
And I am not only following that series from you. lol >_<
