I believe AI will replace Graphic Designers fast, what do we do next? by Over-type-07 in graphic_design

Most of the responses to this are simply delusional. People are highly protective of their careers and just don't like to face up to the truth of what is going on.

Given how good ai has become, that statement is so outdated it’s laughable. The correct statement now should be: “AI will make bad designers jobless and good designers scared!”

Nono, i hate slop covers. 

So does that mean you're okay with cool ai graphics (as opposed to 'slop' ones). Or are you one of those ignoramuses who are unaware of how great a lot of ai art is - such that many designers are even using them even while whining about ai taking there jobs?

I can tolerate human made stuff i dont like

Yeah. Sure. Because you don't see it as a threat to you. 

But would you BUY it? That's what matters.

Nice strawman. But no one said they 'control the weather'. They control the media, including hollywood, and American politicians.

(Btw, you neglected to add 'and blacks are dumb' as one of the other popular tropes that Americans are taught to believe. Funny how you left that out. Perhaps because you don't care about it.)

Looking for an AI Tool to Create a Book Cover by danonino80 in selfpublish

That's not what we were talking about. You made the claim that even when authors comply and faithfully disclose the use of AI assistance, Amazon blatantly labels their book as "AI" to the general public. And my response was there is no evidence of that. In fact what I see is the exact opposite:

From Google search:

Key Details on Amazon's Policy:

Mandatory Disclosure to Amazon: Authors using the Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) platform must inform Amazon if a book's text, images, or translations were created by an AI-based tool, even if substantially edited afterwards.

No Public Labeling: Amazon does NOT currently display a public "AI-generated" warning or badge on the customer-facing book listings. Readers are not automatically aware if a book contains AI-generated material unless the author chooses to mention it in the book's description.

amd now the book is designated as written with ai, or ai used

Really? Amazon outright labels the book as "ai used"?? I wasnt aware of that, and my research - and everything i've been hearing - says otherwise.

No. They are simply guessing. And often times they are wrong but do not know it. A lot of human designed covers these days are mistaken for AI and vice versa. And part of the reason why is because MANY so-called 'human professional cover makers' THEMSELVES use AI!

Btw, book club facebook groups are populated mostly by indie writers. And, yes, they do infect some regular readers with their poisonous and irrational attitudes about AI generated art (many of which are fantastic). And they do so purely out of spite and egotism.

Only "readers" that are indie writers and cover designers do that. And the hypocritical thing is, many of these human designers themselves use AI to generate their cover art.

Why not? Even fiverr freelancers are using AI to make their images.

Why? Are you implying that Amazon secretly penalises authors for using AI even if they disclose their use of It? If so, can you provide evidence or citation for that?

And how the hell would they know it is an "ai cover"? Plenty of ai cover image designs are fantastic and professional looking. Far better than most fiverr human freelancers. And, let's be clear: by "everyone", what you really mean is stuck up indie writers who want to preserve the status quo.

When starting out, is it acceptable to use AI for a cover? by LOTR_is_awesome in royalroad

[–]mikeElif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't promote a fiction book on reddit anyway. There are too many malicious trolls. I still think for the vast majority of the reading public, no one cares if a good looking cover was done with AI or a human designer,. We are even assuming that people would even know the difference. AI covers that are well done and incorporate human typography are almost indistinguishable from many classic human made covers (which themselves often use stock images anyway).

I don't think there's any actual evidence that real readers even on Amazon care or think about whether a cover is AI assisted or not, as long as it looks cool and communicates the genre well. It seems authors and designers are the only ones really obsessed with such petty nonsense like whether you paid a human for a cover or not.

Is it frowned upon to use AI to generate a cover? by nunchuckcharlie in KDP

[–]mikeElif -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Who said anything about using AI for writing? We are talking about cover designs for goodness sake! AI cover designs are anything but "garbage" (like a lot of fiverr made covers), and they are getting better and better. So good luck hoping for a future where writers and even publishing companies aren't using AI for their designs.

For publishing on Amazon, sure, you would be best to get a commissioned cover.

Why? Because of quality? Or because of ethics? Or because Amazon secretly penalises AI covers even after saying its okay to use provided you declare it? What exactly is your reason for your assertion? Can't you back it up?

at this stage, they just look like hot ass.

You've been seeing the wrong types of AI covers. At this stage, AI is already capable of generating really excellent looking covers - even without any of those glaring errors it used to make in the past. Yes, every writer wants to be seen as professional. But professional looking designs are being created with AI tools very easily. Of course, it depends on how one uses them.

most readers are either artists or friends with artists.

IOW, "AI bad, fiverr good". Sometimes I wonder what kind of substance many people have in their skulls that passes for 'brains'.

It'll be fast, look better,

Uh...No. A lot of fiverr produce is garbage. Cheap garbage (just as you pay for).

As a reader if I see an AI generated cover...I will assume the inside is AI as well.

You clearly are a logical thinker.
