Well, I guess you're right that making it a "promotion" may have been better wording. From my perspective though, I see it as valuing shares enough to pay people for them. Maybe that is the same thing though.

I do understand the hardship of progressing technology though. If you think writers aren't affected, we are. Chat GPT is ever advancing and who knows when AI will be able to write books on its own, tailored to the individual.

I use AI generated images to supplement my lack of artistic ability. I am good with words, so creating effective prompts is within my ability. And frankly, I don't have thousands of dollars free to have every idea turned into an image by a professional. But I can create those images with AI, then use my favorites of those to be personalized by an artist.
