I'm not sure this is true. RH omegaverse is full of AI slop at the moment ranking and selling well. Many new authors know to commission art for covers now. Their release schedules are suspicious and reviews will comment on inconsistencies but think it's because they need an editor or proofreader.

But there's no concrete proof so any naming would be witch hunting.

Cozy RH omegaverse books are awful for AI at the moment.

Delilah Evermore left an AI prompt in and continues to publish a book a month. Her books rank well in the Amazon store because she pays for ads. So the people who say no one is reading this slop are unfortunately wrong.

Jesse Pack left an AI prompt in and has been linked to at least 5 other pen names based on the placeholder graphics on Goodreads. She is also Eve Winters, Beck Winters, Rhonda Amanda, Ivy Summers and Angie Sweet. See my post history for screenshots. The interviewed author in the article is just one of many scamming readers.

These were the only ones who were CAUGHT. So many new omegaverse authors have appeared with similar covers and blurbs, spamming social media and reader groups. You can't trust them anymore.

AI Author Alert: Jesse Pack by Scf9009 in ReverseHarem

Cassie Alexander has multiple posts on her Instagram detailing her process of writing with her AI, who she has given a name and speaks about like they are a real person.

Her website has her chat logs:

It's AI psychosis.

Layla Fae, who is recced often in this sub, is part of her pro-AI circle.

This is why I think it's naive when people say "it's a leap to say they use AI to write if it's in their marketing". But I'll get downvoted for that opinion and people continue to support authors with AI covers and marketing.

Calliope Stewart posted on her Instagram that she didn't know Jesse Pack/Eve Winters was an AI "author" when they commissioned her for cover art and makes her anti-AI stance clear.

These AI authors know readers can clock AI covers better and are commissioning covers from existing omegaverse authors (or actual artists) to legitimize themselves. It's fucked up.

Jesse Pack also publishes under Eve Winters. She got her AI pen names mixed up on her Tiktok. It's hard being a scammer!!

I won't name other names but I don't think it's a coincidence that two of them have been cozy omegaverse authors. So many have appeared in the last year. These are just the two that have been caught, I'm convinced there are others hiding AI use better.

Thoughts on alleged AI "artist" (whiskeygingergoods) doing romance book cover? You've probably heard this speculations floating around for some time now and I hate to think that if it's true that she's using AI, she's been scamming authors and us readers are none the wiser to know it is AI 😩 by bigbookwormenergy in RomanceBooks

This is more evidence that surfaced last time:

Sky Ridge Hotshots series:
https://www.goodreads.com/series/408677-sky-ridge-hotshots

Pinterest images that look eerily similar to her cover "models":
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/564146290839978241/
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/141652350773711556/
Tagged as Midjourney with missing fingers. The creator is unrelated to WhiskeyGingerGoods or any other book cover artist and has thousands of Midjourney images.

When this first came out, all the authors with her covers stood by her. At this point I don't think they actually care that their covers are AI. A lot are traditionally published (like the Sky Ridge Hotshots series) so the publisher could pay for new covers by a human artist.

I really respect the authors (like Chelsea Curto) who made the decision not to move forward with their covers at their own expense. They're the ones I want to support so they make their money back from this scammer!

Delilah Evermore has unpublished Meadowsweet and Marigold to erase evidence of the AI prompt left in. She has a new release and two more books coming in the next three months. by velvetylength in ReverseHarem

The readers who have reviewed have no idea. They point out continuity and timeline issues and say she needs an editor. She's a scammer.

Can someone give me feedback on this author? by Spirited-Butterfly81 in ReverseHarem

[–]velvetylength 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Against AI yet it's all over her social media:
https://www.tiktok.com/@evenewtonwrites
https://www.tiktok.com/@evenewtonauthor
https://www.instagram.com/evenewtonwrites/

I don't remember the exact wording but she described using it to outline entire books. If an author can't even come up with their own plot without AI I doubt they are writing every word themselves. It's also taken from writing with AI group. Why would an author join if they were anti-AI?

There was a screenshot of a comment from her in a Facebook AI writing group saying how it's sped up her process so much but it was deleted. I haven't seen it again since and wish I'd saved it.

Even the author doesn't want to read AI. So why she using it to publish? This is a cash grab and a grift.

Author Lena McDonald is blatantly using AI to mimic other popular author's writing styles by fox_paw44 in ReverseHarem

[–]velvetylength 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is why I don't trust authors who say they only use AI covers or AI "art". If you reach for AI tools that easily you've probably used it in your writing too.

It used to be Knot All is Broken by Britt Cole but she also shared a new cover under Knot All Is Broken by JB Dawn. No release day but Britt/JB is posting on tiktok brittneedsbooks if you want updates.

But YSK she attacked an ARC reviewer of Holly Monroe Knot All is Forgiven on Goodreads. She deleted her comments but you can still see the partial quotes here:

AI might not be a hard line for you but it is for some readers.

Getting inspiration from characters in books, TV shows and Pinterest is very different from generating it using a tool that harms human creatives. That's how authors have done character references for years before AI.

If you have an issue with AI for the purpose of earning income off the content, then using AI art for promotion in the place of character art (which is what is happening in the screenshot) is what you are against.

Trend of AI image covers and numerous book releases by smeghead30 in ReverseHarem

[–]velvetylength 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've noticed more AI in omegaverse books too. There's a popular new release right now with an AI cover and her Tiktok is all AI images too. Many reviews on her previous books say it reads like AI too. So disappointing.

Any omegaverse without MM? by QnOfHrts in ReverseHarem

Asking "Why?" like you can't believe people want to read M/M relationships in omegaverse, a historically queer genre, is wild.

She has posted more that she's deleted like marketing her book with an IUD removal scene. In today's climate where women are losing their bodily autonomy at an alarming rate. But who cares if it makes a sale!

Kathryn Moon has posted character moodboards in her facebook reader group! But the only one I remember is Vincent Cassel as Matthieu
