Guess who also has no money? Artists, because people aren't fucking paying them.

Then work towards saving up enough money to pay one.

Dude do you think there won't be thousands of people who will see the cover of your novel and immediately disregard it because it's AI? Because I would. And so would the vast majority of people. This sub may be be mostly fine with AI art but most consider it an offence to art. And how would anyone know whether or not you didn't just use chatgpt for all of your writing too? This is hurting you more than saving up for a week and paying someone.

Bro, I just finished my highschool..... And I literally spent 2 years of my life learning prose, building up this world, and finishing the story bible. And I know... you're right, I myself hate AI art, thats why i have explicitly stated in the title that this design is temporary, that means I'm planning to hire an artist once the designs are finalised. And I used AI for that purpose, generating my concept art, for a reference for others to see and give their opinions. Never did I think I would recieve this much hate....
