A question for folks out there who read fiction. I am an indie author with a new book. I do not use AI in my writing. Should I put a note or sticker on the cover which says something like \"This story is entirely human generated\" or \"no AI was used in the making of this book.\" Would readers be interested \/ reassured by knowing it is all human-made? My covers are also designed using photos I took myself.<\/p>
Edit: Please boost for reach.<\/p>
