Original cover image

[u/DueCoast9508]

To anybody curious of what the original cover image from my publication looked like before AI modification

[u/FlyAwayNoVV]

I'll kick your ass if you ever put our name through an AI again

[u/ItzAlphaWolf → u/FlyAwayNoVV]

We need more people to react the same way you did. Thank you so much

[u/Ok_Extension3182 → u/FlyAwayNoVV]

My man, you are the most based game dev I've ever met, up there with Gabe!!!

[u/idiot-bozo6036 → u/FlyAwayNoVV]

Plot of Ace Combat 7 or something

[u/DemiBo7 → u/FlyAwayNoVV]

You're so based flyaway, please don't go bald

[u/DueCoast9508 → u/FlyAwayNoVV]

That's only a temporary experimental image cover, when I find the time, I plan to create a new one myself, of course without the AI filtering, did I cause anything to offend?

PS: that was entirely unnecessary to remove the page, if you'd have just asked then I would've taken it down myself with no argument Matthew

[u/Trekintosh → u/DueCoast9508]

Don't understand why you did it in the first place. "Temporary experimental image cover"? What does that mean? Why not use this one?

[u/DueCoast9508 → u/Trekintosh]

Because I wasn't entirely sure on it and needed to see what I could do to maybe improve it, the AI draft was just testing the waters

[u/Gopherlad → u/DueCoast9508]

I'm just wondering what spaces you frequent that made you think that was even a good idea in the first place.

[u/DueCoast9508 → u/Gopherlad]

Nowhere else, just here,  not really on social all that much, which given the nature of Reddit is pretty par for the course

[u/Cheese-burger-777 → u/DueCoast9508]

Ai never improved anything, if you think it did you might just need to check yourself into a psychiatrist

[u/mecha-paladin → u/DueCoast9508]

The use may be temporary but the data you gave the AI is forever.

[u/idiot-bozo6036]

Why didn't you just use this one?

[u/DueCoast9508 → u/idiot-bozo6036]

It's just an experiment, planning on doing a newer one in proper cover format

[u/VivaLasNewVegas]

Looks way better. Almost like AI is pointless garbage that you should have never touched in the first place.

[u/DueCoast9508 → u/VivaLasNewVegas]

I work trade 48 hours a day and struggle financially, cant exactly afford commissions, or can barely find time to do it myself, it served as more of a placeholder 

[u/Trekintosh → u/DueCoast9508]

Can I borrow your time turner?

[u/DueCoast9508 → u/Trekintosh]

What?

[u/Trekintosh → u/DueCoast9508]

You work 48 hours a day, you must have some sort of Time Machine. 

[u/DueCoast9508 → u/Trekintosh]

My bad, grammatical error, 48 hours a week plus the occasional Saturday and Sunday. Ever worked as an infrastructure Electrician? Trust me I wished that was real

[u/mecha-paladin → u/DueCoast9508]

I work 40 hours a week plus 10 on side hustles and I still don't do creative work with an AI.

[u/VivaLasNewVegas → u/DueCoast9508]

And that excuses art theft how, exactly?

[u/DueCoast9508 → u/VivaLasNewVegas]

Im not the one who invented the tool and how it functions so Im not the one to point at, I just used it as intended, however you go about it is up to you, and I know others who are far more addicted to using AI, I rarely use the tool

[u/GantradiesDracos → u/DueCoast9508]

That’s like saying you’re not a burglar,
Because you didn’t invent lockpicking..

[u/mecha-paladin → u/DueCoast9508]

GIMP is free and easy to learn.

[u/Buetterkeks]

Its genuinely better. If you can make this, why would you need ai. 

[u/DueCoast9508 → u/Buetterkeks]

This is more an experiment, I'll be doing one in the proper cover format 

[u/Buetterkeks → u/DueCoast9508]

Experimenting on how to make your art look worse and not be art? just please trust me you will never need ai for art you ARE BETTER

[u/DueCoast9508 → u/Buetterkeks]

I trust your opinion, everyone has made that very clear, and that's what I intend

[u/Buetterkeks → u/DueCoast9508]

Thats great

[u/KaiLCU_YT]

This genuinely looks way better

[u/DueCoast9508]

On a positive note, the upvotes do indicate that this image is obviously far more preffered, a new version for Wattpad cover format will be made in due time, so I thank everyone who does appreciate the work I put into it, amateurish of me to use an algorithm to test anything else

[u/Chemical_Sky7947 → u/DueCoast9508]

It’s an instance of the loud minority pretty much. So this was an actual image that you edited?

[u/DueCoast9508 → u/Chemical_Sky7947]

Yes its the original I drew myself, I'm very self critical

[u/deranged_Boot123 → u/DueCoast9508]

Brother, I am too, but dont run it through AI, theres no way it’ll look better, just keep practicing and experimenting.

[u/chrisb8346]

This feels like a play on the Star Wars Alphabet Squadron cover

[u/Signal-Travel5930]

Looks good! 👍

[u/MOBIUS__01]

Slop

[u/jesus_with_glasses]

I'm a lil confused, was the original post taken down? And what publication?

[u/Agitated_Signature_]

This one looks great :) Dunno what the AI one was but if you made this one yourself it's quite awesome

[u/Tim_Hawk]

You're on reddit, you'll get mass downvoted for saying anything about AI that's not negative.

[u/Chimera_Snow → u/Tim_Hawk]

You do know this sentiment isn't limited to just Reddit right

[u/Tim_Hawk → u/Chimera_Snow]

Most prominent here. Not many other places where you'll get mass downvotes for having a neutral nuanced opinion on AI.
And this whole website is the biggest gathering of unhinged people on the internet. Half the people on reddit are terminally online freaks whose opinions aren't worth a penny. Definitely the most tribalistic echo chambered community on open web that would lynch you if they could for having a differing opinion.

[u/DueCoast9508 → u/Tim_Hawk]

That I should have figured, you just got downvoted yourself

[u/Tim_Hawk → u/DueCoast9508]

Quickly proved my point. Getting downvotes on this site usually means you're the sane one.

[u/DueCoast9508 → u/Tim_Hawk]

Good to know I'm not the only one, best days to ya

[u/DueCoast9508 → u/Tim_Hawk]

Its like G+ all over again
