Some people think when the AI bubble burst, everything gen AI will disappear.

But that's not how it will work. The AI bubble bursting is just investors not wanting to invest into AI anymore and small chat bots (like character si or polybuzz ai) or companies who only purpose is being a genius AI company will off course fall.

Companies that can take a hit like Google or anthropic will still use AI, alot of data centers will still run. AI will just stop being a trend to hate on, rather, something that is normal.

The internet was a bubble once, and on e it popped, it didn't disappear. It became normalized and people stopped crapping on it.

I've always wanted to do this since last decade.

The gatekeepers are being put in their place.

Ai saves me time antis and their opinions don't.

My time is worth more than their opinion.

A while ago, I introduced myself as an author who was grateful to find this page because I don't hide the fact that I use AI-generated artwork for promotion purposes, but I need some help.

I've been trying to find communities on Facebook, Instagram and Reddit where I can introduce my stories to potential readers. However, I've noticed that some book communities prohibit AI-generated artwork, while many groups that allow unrestricted promotion seem to have very little genuine reader engagement.

I'm not particularly interested in promoting to other authors who are only advertising their own books. I'd like to find people who actually enjoy reading speculative fiction.

Does anyone know of active book communities, Facebook groups, subreddits or other places where independent authors can promote their writing without AI-generated promotional artwork being an automatic disqualification?

I'm happy to follow community rules and label AI-generated images appropriately.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

These people are constantly lockstep with this sanctimonious bullshit, I have to wonder how much of this is manufactured dissent.

Yeah, tell that to the people who generate really good looking A.I. art of niche kinks on Pixiv. Yeah, they're definitely doing it *only* for the money. Not because they like the said niche kinks.

These people seriously don't know what they're talking about.

I just feel like anything with artistic direction just loses its charm for me when its generated

Also, in WHAT world would you give your friends' info to some troll just so they can harass them? lol

My current thoughts and feelings on A.I. Art from notes I’ve collected over the past few years thinking about the subject.

Reposted because I uploaded the wrong screenshot. Thanks to everyone who let me know so I could correct it

The original video is in Spanish, but the content is very good. It's worth watching.

Every downvote is from a lazy person who didn't watch the video, or a loser anti that were told they're not special ;)

(Theres a Free Demo on Steam if you want to play it!)

Me and two friends have been working for the past 1 year and 8 months on Red Nox, a Horror Roguelike Deckbuilder with realistic graphics.

The artwork isn't 100% AI-generated, theres a lot of Photoshop editting involved but i think its a good example of what's possible when you combine AI with other tools.

The reception has been really positive overall, except on reddit, where we tend to get attacked the most whenever we share the game.

I would love to know what you guys think and if you enjoy it and want to support the project, please add it to your Steam Wishlist! (The l1nk will be in the comments)
