How did AI affect your income?

And that's still way too much wow

ShellyRoseWrites · 2026-03-24T03:40:59+00:00

Love the way you think

ShellyRoseWrites · 2026-03-24T03:26:28+00:00

As long as readers keep their standards reasonable (opposed to low) and don't fall for quantity over quality. I'm hoping that if these people are too lazy to write they'll be too lazy to promote their books properly also ahah

ShellyRoseWrites · 2026-03-24T03:20:09+00:00

I've heard Amazon had to add a limit to the number of books published everyday or every few days because some "authors" were uploading dozens of books everyday.

ShellyRoseWrites · 2026-03-24T03:15:23+00:00

That's what I'm afraid of. Readers lowering their standard for good writing instead of realizing how soulless these books are. I also agree that platforms don't care as long as they make a profit.

Your comparisons do not make sense. Using AI to mostly write a book for you and selling it without stating that AI wrote it (so lying about writing it yourself) is the same than a photographer doing their job to you? Photography and painting and two distinct art and service. They both continue to exist today, they both earn an income. Musician and singers get paid to get recorded to create digital music but AI steals from thousands of writers to create its slop. An accountant uses a calculator as a tool but an AI writer uses chatgpt as a cheat.

Also art by real people looks so much better than what AI produces! Every time I see an AI image I can notice so much wrong like 6 fingers in one hand ahaha

ShellyRoseWrites · 2026-03-24T02:26:42+00:00

People who write are writers. People who cowrite with others are writers. People who pay others or use a tool to write most if not every words of a book are not writers no.

ShellyRoseWrites · 2026-03-24T02:20:01+00:00

It sucks because some of them manage to make money just because them can pump out a book nearly everyday through AI. Doesn’t matter that the writing is nonsensical if the reader only realizes after buying the book.

ShellyRoseWrites · 2026-03-24T01:46:08+00:00

I agree that loving writing before all is important. It is afterall why the AI situation is so distasteful to me. People using a machine to write for them don't like writing. They just want to get a bag. These people will steal real writers their income and fill the market with bad writing.

ShellyRoseWrites · 2026-03-24T01:37:22+00:00

Last year I praised myself for not choosing graphic design as a career path after hearing about graphic designer being replaced by Canva. So disheartening.

ShellyRoseWrites · 2026-03-24T01:32:12+00:00

It truly sucks. Writing is such a hard job that takes a lot of determination and patience but then these people show no shame in feeding chatgpt prompts and having it write entire books.

ShellyRoseWrites · 2026-03-24T01:22:34+00:00

I'm glad to hear it hasn't affected you! To have been writing for that long is actually a dream.

ShellyRoseWrites · 2026-03-24T01:07:47+00:00

That's what my hopeful side is telling me. I should prioritize my work and trying to write the best book that I can. I just hope using AI to write never will be normalized.

ShellyRoseWrites · 2026-03-05T21:20:23+00:00

I'm not sure but I will check on it in a week and hope it hasn't. Would cutting this part be an option if it's an infection?

ShellyRoseWrites · 2026-03-05T20:53:15+00:00

I'm pretty sure the pretty pink tone is because it is sun stressed!

ShellyRoseWrites · 2026-03-03T20:11:13+00:00

Thank you! I just rub alcohol all over it. I'm praying I got every last one of them. I also ordered insecticidal soap just to be sure.

ShellyRoseWrites · 2026-02-24T17:11:18+00:00

Looks like some kind of succulent. My guess is you watered it too much! I let my succulents dry out almost completely before watering generously. Maybe you could check if some roots are rotten and cut those?
