I do not use Generative AI.
Specifically, at no point have I knowingly used Generative AI for covers, internal art, banners, writing, and editing, and all care has been taken to ensure that anyone I hire also has the same policy. I don’t use Generative AI to “brainstorm” or to “talk to my characters” or to “organize my thoughts.”
Due to a disability, I have used text-to-speech programs in the past (long before the AI craze). The irony is that I cannot use them now because AI bloat has made them all fucking useless, so the only one I use is the one that has always been built into Microsoft Word.
