I believe that this site is full of creative people, therefore I stand with the statement that story covers should also be creative, not just some AI slop. Artist exists for a reason and if you can't afford one then edit the story cover yourself.
logical fallacy.
you make a forceful pronouncement from (supposed) authority.
yet your supposed authority is vague.
you have no support for your argument.
source... "trust me, bro."
what's so special about you, and your opinion. because this isn;t a fact, its an opinion.
why should I finger paint, when there's a perfectly good brush, laying right there.
unless these (great) artists are going to work with me for free. Because I'm working for free to write.
or, am I to work for free writing, and spend money to write, paying these artists.
hoping I get what I want, what I need.

the writers are writing for free, how about you work for free and make yourself available.
we (writers) spent years getting to this point. for nothing.
or do you expect artists to be paid in cold hard cash.
why do writers deserve nothing, and artists deserve paid. both did the same things.

I just don't feel like you've convinced me.

let's use your own logic. because if your logic is consistent, then terms can be interchanged.

WRITERS exists for a reason and if you can't afford to pay for reading a wen nbovel, then write your own story and read it to yourself.

question, slater. You ever read a story on here? for free? Pretty sure you did, and more than once. Did you feel such gut wracking guilt, that you messaged the author and offered to do free artwork for them? or, send them the money for so much as a can of monster energy drink?

your logic is inconsistent. obviously in your balue system, artists are valuable. yet writers are nothing.
I don't fault you for that, by the by.
its normal for human beings to unknowingly twist their "logic" so it benefits themselves.
but that's what FORMAL logic is for. To prevent you from making logical fallacies, such as you're doing now.

why should I march in your parade, when you're not willing to march in mine.

I''m honestly not picking on you. most people do what you're doing, and don't realize it.
YET, now that I informed you of what your statement *really* means.
artists are valuable, writers are worthless.
if you continue, you are admitting this is how you think now that the logical contradiction is pointed out.
balls in your court, Slater. Care to recant and reclaim your soul?
or will you double down and continue, simply because it benefits you personally to get your way. At the expense of those working for free, expecting us to dig deep and and now *lose* money, to pursue our hobby.
writers lose, so artists can gain.

yeah, sounds fair and equitable to me.

all women deserve free breast exams, anytime they feel like it. we tie pink ribbons on things all month long.
did you know more men die from prostate and testicle cancer than women from breast cancer?
where's the blue ribbons, where's the month of awareness for that.
oh, women are valuable, men are worthless.

its the *same* logic as you just espoused.
its just as hypocritical and selfish.

another thread asked, what is different about your writing, what sets it apart.
I said, I think different.
my logic in both cases, is impeccable.
that's how I write.

and your rebuttal is... ???

I went without art of any kind until my story was generating its own income stream, which took a few years. Authors who think they need art now for their stories to succeed suggest a strong lack of faith in their own writing.

so? nothing wrong with grabbing some AI image until you can afford it. If I roll with no art, or free art. or with free AI. the artist isn't hurt any either way. On the other hand, paying for art when my writing isnt good yet, would hurt and be a barrier to entry.
I am a degenerate... the animated one on the right, I'd tap that. :blob_hide:
yes. you take away the body rot, the overall female form is fetching enough. Good eye, son. good eye.
the based department called, by the way. They're very happy with your work. keep it up.

To each their own. I find AI art to be soulless and value my writing too much to ever make AI the public face of it.
