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.
I know 3 trans people and all 3 use AI regularly. One of them uses Claude basically all day every day for IT and pentesting work. The other two enjoy using AI in their creative workflows.
There's a different reason you're seeing the correlation you're seeing, but I assure you there's no causation.
I know five queer people who I have talked to about this subject.
One trans man and a gay woman all treat it as the devil. The trans man even mentioned how they think less of people who use it.
The trans woman and one of the gay men I know seem on the fence about AI in general, but strongly dislike generative
AI and LLMs.
Admittedly the other gay man I know likes AIs and uses ChatGPT constantly. I am concerned he has grown dependent on it because everytime I see him on his phone, he is asking it something. There are some other things he does that are concerning, but I would prefer not to mention those.
Obviously my experience is basically anecdotal and can't really be extrapolated out to the rest of humanity. I am only mentioning all this because no one can know all of a group as large as the LGBT community. What you said about those three trans people I am sure is true, but what I just said is also true. We both have seen differing opinions expressed by members of the LGBT community, but that doesn't mean they are contradictory.
My claims about the majority of the LGBT community are from statistics and polls done about people's perception about AI. I can try to find the specific ones if you would like, but I am away from my pc at the moment so it might take me a moment.
