   I think 95% of uses for "AI" are stupid, wasteful, unnecessary, and shoehorned into existing products to make them worse.

   But some people seem to think that if you don't have a big publisher behind you or you aren't rich enough to pay for professional book design then you just shouldn't bother writing, or that you should put your work up for free somewhere because they don't want to have to pay you for your work either, which is why so many of us are poor in the first place.

     Also, some people are being silly acting like stock photography and public domain art don't also look cheap and shitty and are easily ignored.

     I try to use stock when possible but most stock art is freaking terrible, too.

     @gwynnion @lisamelton it is sad that your first line applies well to “tech” in general, considering how much attention “tech” gets over so many very important human problems
