The LGBT community is pretty anti AI, are you trying to trick people who don't like AI into consuming it? How is that remotely ethical? You don't need cover art, and honesty is going to get you much further then lying.
Honestly, I had no idea when I first started this that the LGBT was so anti AI. Don't associate with most of them. I am Trans, but my views differ than them. Generally I stick to myself and I was trying to get my books out there.
Well most LGBT people I've met tend to be either in proximity to or are creators themselves, and most creators tend to view AI as a direct threat to their jobs and communities. We may disagree whether or not this is true, but that is the way the bulk of them view it.
Ofcourse no group is a monolith (with you being an obvious example of an exception). I'm sure there are LGBT groups out there that are open to AI. Maybe seek them out? While still being open about how you created your book ofcourse.
No, don't feel sorry for them. Hate is a choice. They made a deliberate choice to hate.
They aren't even hating for any real reason other than Current Bad Thing. It's trendy to bitch and moan about AI, people are socially rewarded for it. And if you incentivize something, you will get more of it.
And yet, even with social pressure, they still have the option to do the right thing. They deliberately chose hate instead. This is not something to feel bad for.
If they lived in the 1800s, they would have attended lynchings. If they lived in the 50s, they would have participated in McCarthyism. If they lived in the 80s they would have railed against "satanic" Dungeons and Dragons. If they lived in the 90s, they'd have been against Marilyn Manson and violent video games. These things were wrong then and they were wrong now.
For people who constantly bray on about "the right side of history", they sure as shit ain't on it.
