nostr:npub1fgle6lnth5pces3v5hayhvdsaqg7r842gxhg9fh5a7l66jm2qp3q0w4jl4 I think I'm coming off way worse than I meant to, sorry.
Not that you need validation from some internet stranger, but it was never my intention to somehow imply you were less of or not a real writer because you dabbled in something.
But I don't like seeing writers, especially new writers who might not be familiar with how much a real problem this is, getting caught in the AI trap. Please don't accuse me of not supporting others.
We need to rally together more now than ever.

And the problem isn't their creations being in a published product, or paying to use them, but helping it get better at stealing from other creatives and promoting their use. Human artists must look out for each other more than ever.
Sorry if I sound condescending or righteous or accusatory about all this, I don't mean to, but these are dangerous times for people like us.
CW: AI Image. Thanks to nostr:npub1fgle6lnth5pces3v5hayhvdsaqg7r842gxhg9fh5a7l66jm2qp3q0w4jl4 and his #writingWonders 8.4 response, I actually tried another AI generator named #Gencraft (not that I'd ever use AI to create something actual publication), but I got the following. Mind you, no wings and it defaulted (or course) to caucian, but it is something.
It is missing the sense of the character being fae, vulnerable, and mysterious. These are things I'm sure my cover artist would make happen.

Beyond disappointed when I see genuine creatives resorting to these things and removing their own agency as creators.
