I have 2 theories, and it's probably some degree of both. First and foremost, these people were already storytellers, and knew the fundamentals, without that, it's pointless. First theory relates to a common line in all those situations, the author was interested and engaged in their story...

The brain is incapable of true omniscience. It'd instantly drive them completely insane, and likely render them brain dead. As Paul said, omniscience by proxy is basically as good as it gets.

100% agree, they're a joke to creators. However, they have a large portion of the market share, and there are tons of people who would support individuals, but only use patreon. Do I wish they didn't? Absolutely. Is it a reality that if I want money from readers, I need to use Patreon...

If there isn't a reason for them to be based on the pokemon designs, then I'd reimagine them completely. All this reads as if you said, "Hey, my story has a mouse and a dog in it, and they look a lot like Micky and Goofy, but they aren't them." Maybe you're just inspired. Readers, and the...

I think it might be a tad close for the ever litigious Pokemon company. They even looked into suing pal world. Unlike pal world, you don't likely have the resources to fight a lawsuit on the matter. Basically, the issue at hand is that you've said - "I want to make a time dragon inspired by...

Your first impression will be your cover in 98% of viewer interactions. So, it is arguably the most important part of your story to meet some minimum quality standard. Second is the title, then third is your synopsis. As annoying as it is, the quality of the story itself slides in at 4th most...

So we agree, if the AI art bears no immediate resemblance to other art, it's absolutely fine, and everyone has no reason to be concerned with it. Got it.

This depends on your definition of theft. If I look at images already posted on web, just look, is it theft? The images are already there. If an actual artist then used those images to practice their drawing, and only practice their drawing, is it theft? What if that artist then later makes...

Based.

All modern stories are just AU of the epic of Gilgamesh. Allow me, someone who worked in the industry, was trained in safety practices, and was both MSHA and OSHA certified to inform you of some facts about modern industry in the US. Almost all of the deaths are user error. The machines are...

I too have been laughing, because I've been reading about half your statements in alternating capitalization with this meme in my head. Again, all the more reason to go back to tailored clothes. During the industrial revolution (which largely started in the textile industry), 35,000 people...

This mindset makes a lot of sense, and it's also exactly why everyone had to jump to making AI art. People use the cover art as an approximation for the quality of the story. -> People are going to look to use any method to make better cover art. Now, if you don't even bother to make AI art...

I'm happy to pay an artist when I need consistent styled art. Asking people who want covers for a free project to learn to draw in addition to write, or pay someone for a cover is the equivalent of arguing that people need to pay a seamstress to make all their daily clothes. That's why I...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite I'm going to continue using new technology unless I'm expressly forbid by force via government intervention.

I worked for a long time to make my handwriting good, but otherwise, seems about right.

I'd suggest looking on things like upwork to compare your relevant experience to set a price, and heck, even set up a profile over there to start.

"Why does this fledgling technology not provide me with it's penultimate goal already?" I don't know, because it hasn't reached that point yet? The car didn't start out as a modern Ferrari either.

There are a few things that you should pause and self-evaluate to determine if it's actually burnout. Do you feel different ABOUT writing while you're doing it? If so, then it could be burnout. If you don't, then it's unlikely. Are you working through continuity issues? A problem that is...

Sloth (inaction) is bad.
