Midjourney steals don’t use them

On the positive side I think traditional artists will themselves use A.I. for ideas that they will turn into real paintings that will be mind blowing. Instead of it taking decades for new styles to arrive on the scene it will literally happen overnight at the touch of a button.

You’re so right… wow.

@@obscuremusictabs5927 It can't create new style though.... all it can do is replicate. It doesn't take decades to create a new style every artist has a style and they can change it pretty fast depending on their skill. You probably mean art movement, I don't see ai art being in any new art movement because artists generally don't like to use it.

I don't agree with the supposition that AI will replace writers as well as book cover artists. Those are two very VERY different 'art forms.' A novel cover is something that attracts the eye and hints at what the book is about, possibly on a subconscious level, but it doesn't have weight or substance. The book content itself is substance from the author's mind and heart. AI will never be able to replicate that. (Yes, I do believe 'never' is correct. 😆) The cover is like candy; the actual story is like (at least) a 21-course meal.

@@2ndRodeo_Keziah The most powerful AI's currently in existence are called 'Large Language Models'- and it's these models that are attracting the most funding and the most interest from developers. So the idea that writers will never be replaced by AI is an optimistic assumption in my view, given that these AI's are specifically targeting language mastery as a goal. Sadly many artists too believe that AI art does not have the 'mind and heart' that human made art has- but as you yourself demonstrate many people just don't care if Art is made by a human or a machine- and the same will be true of Writing. What I think is true both of AI Art and AI Writing is that both lack true originality and that in the long run people will come to see that, and will want to see art made by humans and read books written by humans. Personally I think that creatives should not be too quick to embrace AI in their work because I think in the future AI created content will be seen as a cheap and inferior substitute for the 'real thing'. So putting AI art on your cover, or using AI to create your work may not be a good idea if you want to be taken seriously as a writer.

Sorry friend, but there is no longer any reliable method to determine which book covers are made with AI. Literally the only way to be sure something was made by a human is if it looks like MS Paint. Or maybe if you personally know the book cover artist and trust them not to use AI.

@@quigglyz Heavily disagree trained artists can still see ai art as of right now. Their are still so many iinconsistencies from broken perspective to pieces of geomatry that just don't make sense in the piece. I can tell, will I in the future that's debatable, but if I see a book with an ai cover I won't buy it.

You are so kind

Oh good one!

Normally no but does work for certain scenarios.

Thank you 👍

Why would anyone steal the art if they can easily just make their own?

@@TheNerdyNovelist Does this mean I could generate any AI book cover from any source and use it for selling on Amazon?

Worst taste

Thanks!

But why would they when they can just generate their own? There’s too much fear around not being able to copyright AI images in my opinion. I think it will rarely if ever be an issue.

@@TheNerdyNovelist I see it as a new tool for scammers. If an author publishes a popular book, but the cover was AI generated, a scammer can take their cover art and legally put it on their own book.

​@@patricker22But not the title or author's name, the blurb, or anything about the original book. I mean, that's classic caveat emptor. Also, people have traded on similar concepts in the past; ie film mockbusters that resemble the title and poster of a big name film, but are actually straight to video low budget schlock.

How will they even know it is AI generated? If you do a good job of it, one shouldn’t be able to tell it is AI generated.

Not true, some cites have commercial releases if you pay and will back you in court should copyright claims come your way and with all the money on the table with ai art, copyright laws will adapt, those who get ahead of the curve now will have the advantage.
