Perhaps you could use AI to research SEO terms to use to promote your writing? Or - big one here - use AI to generate your own cover art or book trailers to promote your writing? No need to feel pessimistic, as while AI does have its drawbacks, it does empower ordinary people in a wide range of disciplines. The fact is that it is here, whether we like it or not, so we may as well find ways to make the most of it, without having to lose the soul of our art.

    Thankfully Kindle Direct Publishing has an option for you to label your work as AI generated or AI assisted and if you don't switch those on you can have your stuff revoked, but there's no active moderation on the amazon marketplace to quality check and verify that. As far as my understanding goes it's report based which carries its own issues. As an artist and writer, it's very discouraging to see this stuff bloating every marketplace available for indie creators. Silver lining is that the law is starting to catch up and these AI models are starting to inbreed data so the models are becoming worse and worse so that's good at least.

      I think AI will end up mostly used for scam maketing and such, like the entire SEO thing where people created fake websites with bot content or like repost of publicly available articles just to insert a link to their website or created websites with keyboard soup just to get better hits and ratings from search engines
      basically, in terms of creative work, AI will replace unskilled third world laborers generating keyword soup for a dollar or will replace just previous bots
      there is a great future for AI in all kinds of assisting technology, like grammar checkers or these tools to change the tone of your text: it's good stuff (although creating an old-school rule-based grammar checker was lots of fun and a neat hobby for me, but such solutions have no use nowadays unless you're offline and don't have processing power for local AI, like, idk, maybe if someone wanted to create a cheap modern typewriter or an ebook reader also meant for writing, idk, cos even phones have crazy processing power nowadays)
      I see AI as a great auxiliary tool but generative AI feels like an useless fad for me - I remember being impressed with Cleverbot (which was very primitive compared to today's AI) back in ye olde days, but I lost interest after like a week cos it was ultimately just flavored gibberish and ChatGPT, despite being undeniably way better, was/is the same for me
      I think a good example for the uses of AI is Neuro and Vedal (an "AI streamer" (Neuro) and its creator (Vedal)): Neuro-only streams are boring and unwatchable for me cos she just clicks all over the screen (when playing games) and says gibberish, but when she's with Vedal, it's fun cos he can find some meaning in her gibberish and engage in a ridiculous surreal conversation - Vedal is the real star, Neuro is just a tool to make the stream more entertaining
      it reminds me of Terry Davis (a tragic story, you can look up documentaries on UA-cam) who used a random word generator as "the voice of God" and him trying to squeeze these random words (or random Bible verses, Bibliomancy is nothing new) into some context and meaning was entertaining 😂

    Since Feb of this year, it seems AI books have been popping up for Procreate. I’ve spotted four in particular (look for the dot BEFORE the middle initial) that I’m certain are AI.
    Two feature Wacom tablets in the cover image (procreate is exclusive to iPad) and they’re all exactly the same length (give or take a couple pages).

    My dad is writing a book.....THROUGH AI!!!!! ugh!! i kept telling my mom to write her OWN play for church but she said that would take too long. I said get a team. She said everyone would write different. She wasn't a 20 minute play for them . She really wanted Ai to do it because she would have so much time. I like Ai for school grammar. I can't spell and on discord its even harder. I like Ai to move an image of my OWN to clear a background for me. that's it.
    She wouldn't understand and downstairs I saw a 6 page story downstairs hearing " dad wrote it" he didn't write it. I SUCK at writing for youtube. So I DON'T. I speak in the moment and talk about that moment in time. No script.
    My aunt wrote a book but DID NOT hire an artist to do the cover. Because AI doesn't require an artist. My mom didn't want to pay someone. My dad didn't want to learn to write ✍🏻. My aunt I should have corrected her on the AI cover.

      You could warn your parents about the "very real and very serious" risk that they themselves could get sued for using AI generated images or text and then use it for anything more than personal use because the AI was trained on copyrighted works and therefore anything made with AI is a violation of that copyright.

Over time I came to vastly prefer my ‘real’ drumming which technically isn’t as good, but ultimately takes less time and I know for sure that my beat is truly unique.
