    Compiling My Thoughts On My Magic System

    That loop/knot integration into your magic is pretty cool. You've put some thought into it. And knitters must be Master mages! Lol. They have all the experience with loops. :D

    The fact AI companies charge money and profit after using mass amounts of stolen art would be my issue, yes. And no, I never used Grammarly. I used to use ProWritingAid, but I uninstalled the program when they added Generative AI. I also canceled my Adobe Subscription when they added Firefly...

    I knew it was devisive. People are free to disagree just as I'm free to express my own. I assume readers are more attracted to the content than the covers, since I see a pretty varied range of covers in trending, including one Basic ScribbleHub placeholder. Either way, people read my stuff or...

    I'm aware it's a serious topic, and I know not many can afford to commission artwork. I can't afford to commission artwork! But I still do not want to support the use of AI artwork in projects, which is why I provided a list of free resources. No one's cover has to have illustration-style...

    I wasn't looking for praise? I provided resources. I figured if people disagreed they'd ignore the thread the same way I don't comment on all the threads recommending, promoting and/or critiquing AI art.

    It was two sentences. If I wanted to preach I would have written an essay. Lol.

    Don't talk about yourself that way! T-T No self depreciation! Not offended. The first response to this thread was an insult, so I clearly didn't get the tone I wanted across. Xd;

    I wasn't trying to preach, though I can see how it came across that way. Mostly wanted to provide resources.

    Obscure horror games recommendations

    Not sure how obscure it is, but Ib is good. I'll also recommend Pathologic 2. You do not need to have played the first one, as it is essentially a remake.

    I'm considering this as a bad faith response. Enjoy the last word.

    SH story tagged comedy that is actually funny.

    It's not tagged for it, but Blood for Power has been making me chuckle. I've found the humor delightful.

    We're still waiting on the courts for that one. I'm pretty sure I've made it clear I consider the use of copyrighted works for training data as a violation. :D

    If you trace art and sell it, it's a Copyright violation. Tracing to learn. Great! Tracing and then claiming the art is entirely yours. Theft! :D Part of why it's so insidious. At least when artists steal from each other, they usually give credit or name their inspiration.

    Splitting collab chapters?

    Each author could post one book & make use of notes explaining it's a collaboration. Then you could link to the other books in the series.

    If you truly believe it's the same, go for it. I don't agree with this either, but you can believe that if you want. Edit: More reading if you want it. GenAI has a Visual Plagerism Problem

    AI isn't just looking, and you know it. If you're using it for reference to improve your skills, no. Tracing for practice can be a good way to learn, and drawing from reference is essential to learning. If you copy it exactly and then sell it, yes. It's a Copyright violation. If one uses the...

    From another thread. I made a new cover.

    It's looking a lot better! Great job! :D

    I see plenty of good AI art. It's copying from amazing artists. This is an insult to Journey to the West and Seven Samurai, thank you. I am not arguing for the elimination of all automation. Many tools and machines are great, I just don't believe Generative AI is one of them in its current...

    I didn't say you had to. I'm providing resources for people who may not have known it's an option. That is also, bad, yes. They are not even remotely similar processes. Why AI Models are not inspired like humans. Your paid cover looks objectively better, but your story summary starts with a...

    Splitting collab chapters?

    Agreed. It's better to have the entire story in one work than divided up.
