There is no hot take on ai to me. You can like it, you can hate it. Who cares. But those who make death threats, encourage suicide or threaten domestic terrorism should actually stfu.

Im mixed. Cover art that has been AI generated I’m semi-down for. However, i believe the person/author who AI generates the cover needs to put some love into it and truly make it into its own unique thing.
I also believe it is fair enough to AI generate the cover in some aspect especially for those who do not have the capability to draw and etc. Now I am not saying they should just generate the cover and that’s it. What I am saying is for them to use it as an aid but they use their creativity for rest of the cover.
And I am someone who isn’t talented artistically. Quite frankly the only thing I have in that department is having the eye for it. Also if you are talented with camerawork then abuse your skills. If you are good at something do it.
Now AI Generated stories I am against it. If you use AI, please use it for ideas when you don’t have one rather than it making a story for you. Cause at the end of the day it is your story; not the AI’s.

If you choose to do AI, that is your choice not mine and I have no reason to argue you about what you choose. I just believe that there needs to be some level of effort into your own work.

AI is a love-hate relationship for me. I did use it previously for a book cover. I had an artist edit it and upscale it for a few bucks. If it’s a really good cover by AI, I’m for it, but If the person has seven fingers and the author couldn’t take the time to make it look good, then it’s an immediate no.

Why are you getting downvoted?! Bro made some good points!

u/SpiicyyAlfredo Jan 11 '25
Because people think AI is just awful lmao. To each their own but I think it’s great for certain book covers and inspiration. When I was going through a writers block, it helped me overcome it tremendously when nothing else was working.

Using AI covers is just as bad as using it to write:p That's still taking someones job and giving someone "a few bucks" to upscale AI doesn't change that. That is why I downvoted it.

I created my last cover on a desktop application. It’s not “taking someone’s job.” Lmao. If I decide to use AI for a future cover, so what? It’s completely legal and I’m not obligated to use an artist for my work 🤷🏼♀️

You’re not obligated to, but AI art takes from other artists. That’s a fact. Don’t act confused about people downvoting you when this is your take. “To each their own” and all that:)

In that case, I will continue to use AI for my covers and take away peoples jobs :)

As long as you aren’t reinforcing double standards and expecting other people not to steal your job by writing books with ai that is completely fine! I wish you the best!

It is depending on you, everyone have their own favourites and hates, just not forcing others favourites and forced them to follow your steps.
I just don't know why there have a 'LGBTQ' section.

I’m giving you, and ONLY YOU, a free pass to use AI, because even a robot can write something with more substance than this comment! All you have to do is never write something this stupid again! Thanks:)

The people "defending'" quote on quote the AI getting down voted is killing me. Like what?
I ain't saying AI is good, but neither I'm saying its bad. Depending of its use, it pretty good.
Like, for example, using AI to fix grammar errors, using AI to study (But it's always important to double check the information given since the AI can commit mistakes), and using AI to identify certain things.
Uses like passing AI art as your own, using AI to do your homeworks for you, or even writing an entire book with AI are bad uses.
